Serial Cable for HTC Mogul PPC

I need to connect a serial device to my HTC Mogul. Is there any way to do it WITHOUT using Bluetooth? I was hoping to find some kind of converter cord but haven't found anything yet.

Welcome to PPCGeeks. Please make sure to post on the appropiate forum, this has nothing to do with PPC News. I just recommend this so you can get better assistance.

In short, no. The Mogul has a USB adapter, but it is not a host adapter. For this reason, you'd be unable to connect say, a USB-to-RS232 cable, since the cable itself requires a host adapter. (Something your PC has, for instance.) Therefore, the Mogul is only a device, and not a USB host. It also doesn't have any hardware or software to function as a USB root hub, which is also required to operate in host mode.
