I just bought a Laptop to use for programming Pronto's, but is has no serial jack, only USB. I have found a simple cable adapter for USB to serial for a HP product accessory. Will this work? If not what are my options?

This one works for me, just be sure you get the right one, KeySpan makes several kinds.
KeySpan High Speed USB-Serial Adapter (USA-19W)

Don't be surprised if it doesn't work. I recently purchased a Compaq laptop with Windows ME and no serial port. I also bought the Keyspan USA-19W adapter, and tried everything I could think of to make it work.I had no success. I ended up returning the Compaq for an HP that had a serial port, and it has worked fine. I truly hope you have better luck, though.
