[time-nuts] USB Interface, legacy Software

I have a software program, no longer supported, which requires two RS232
serial com port interfaces, one to communicate with a sensor (signal
strength collection receiver) and the second to accept serial data from
a GPS.
The laptop computer I am using has only one RS232 Com port which I must
use with the sensor due to incompatibility with USB to serial converters
I have tried. This leaves the USB for the GPS input. I am assuming that
the GPS string should be acceptable as I do nor believe the software
needs to handshake with the GPS.
I would like to use a "Delorme" USB type receiver on the USB port. Can
anyone recommend a software add on that will make this type receiver
appear as a standard RS232 Com port to my software?
Thanks
