Can old C64 "Arcade" joystick be used on COM-port ?

from LTD (Bob.James.Bob@Easynet.be)
I' m tired of playing games using the keyboard as inputdevice and like to use a simple joystick. I still have an old "Arcade" joystick which still works fine on my commodore 64. I noticed that its connector is DB-9 style, as the COM-ports on my PC. I' ve already plugged it in and it fits fine, but it's not working... Do I have to install special drivers for it under Windows ( '98 ) or is it just not meant to work on the COM-Port ? If so, is there a way to make it work or do I just have to buy a new joystick ? :-(

Thanx very much to anyone who can help me in any way...
