You will need a driver from the manufacturer of the USB-Serial adapter.
When you plug it in, Windows will see it as a new device and ask for
a driver. If you are running Win98 first edition, USB sometimes has
problems. Win98 SE (Second Edition) has much better USB support.
Windows will assign the next available port to it.

Subject: [WriteLog] Serial port setup
Hi Gang,
Maybe someone can help me with this.
I just got a USB-to-Serial adapter cable. I now need to get a comm port
driver to make the new serial port work. I have tried to locate a driver
from my Win 98 CD and from various Internet sites, but to no avail.
Can someone pse tell me where to get the needed driver. BTW, I am running
Win 98 Second Edition.
Also, once I get the computer to "see" the comm port, will WL recognize it
as
Comm 2?
Tnx & 73, George
