How to make USB input look like COMxx

I have legacy (GPS Charting) software that expects data to arrive on a COM RS232 serial port. Most new laptops have USB ports, not serial.

Is there a "driver" that will trick the legacy software into thinking that the data is arriving via a serial port?

The laptop in question is running XP Pro, SP2.

(If this question would fit better in another forum, please let me know)
