Seeking some autoguiding advice

I have got DSLR Focus up and running after some foolish panicking - doh!

Now seeking some advice on autoguiding. I have a Vixen ED80 that I use for imaging and am planning on adding an 80mm Ioptron scope as the guider and using a webcam through that using PHD Guiding.

My question is what cable do I need to connect the scope to the laptop? The laptop I plan do use doesn't have a serial port which I guess means ruling out the RS232 cable I have seen mentioned.

Is there a USB equivalent? With an Australian supplier hopefully.

thanks in advance
