Not sure what you mean by transfering information, is it for connecting a modem, check your MoBo to see if there is a comport connection if so  you can buy the serial port fitting and it is eassy to fit. Or you may be to connect the modem with a USB cable. By the way the serial port can be got from any computer that's not too old.

If the mainboard is capable of a serial connection, you can buy a serial port bracket or obtain one second handed.

Refer to the mainboard manual to see if it has the required connections.
