If I understood the question correctly, you would need an adapter to convert the USB to serial port. Something like: USB to Serial Mini Converters [^]

Without Additional Hardwares It's Not Possible to do so ah?

You need to convert the interface from USB to RS-232, right? If yes, that's a physical operation

Without hardware?? No, it's not possible. The USB "port" as you call it is not a port. USB is a BUS, not unlike the expansion slots inside your computer. So, no you can't treat it like a serial or parallel port.

Indeed :)

I feel that somebody voted 4, not 5 just because you could not make a miracle of doing it without hardware. :-)
But I agree with you, voted 5.
