On any notebook (& desktop PC), not have serial port and paralell port, only USB ports.

I concur. Serial/paralell ports are also rare on new motherboards these days ;)
I connect my TI-89 with a genuine Gray TI-Graph Link and an USB-serial converter (TRENDnet TU-S9, Prolific PL2303 chipset).
I made a quick trick (should make a udev rule...) to make it work under TiLP-I 6.80 : # rm /dev/ttyS0 && ln -b /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0
It also works under TI-Graph Link 89 with Wine. But TiLP-II 1.12 doesn't find my calculator, even with root privileges.
Could TiLP-II scan serial cable throught /dev/ttyUSB[0-n] and not only /dev/ttyS[0-4]?
Thanks.
PS: /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyS0 group is dialout and i'm member of it.

Cause: the /dev/ttySx node doesn't exist or you don't have required permissions. How to grant permission to devices to the user depends on the distribution, it may involve adding the user to a group such as 'dialout' or 'uucp'. This can be done by editing /etc/group and add the username after the ':'. Example: dialout:x:20:romain

Using a USB adapter could work but ticables2 library use hard-coded paths for serial devices (/dev/ttySx).
If needed, I can tell you which file you can patch (just 1 line!).

Please do so :-)
Let me guess...
file:linux/link_gry.c,
line:case PORT_1: h->address = 0x3f8; h->device = strdup("/dev/ttyS0"); break;
Thank you for your concern!
