Today, a lot of notebooks are made without an RS232 port.
I'm going to buy a new desktop with only one serial port, two USBs, an =
IRda 1.1 port, a PS2,
a parallel port and an IEEE1394. There is also an RJ45 for LAN/telephone =
line.

I have to interface my radio first, and TNC, TTY.....etc.

Is it possible to use some external interface ? Also, I know there are =
USB adapters...but they don't
work in DOS of course.

I believe the solution is to say good-bye (adieu) to DOS software as the =
progress goes on, but hope somebody has in mind some circuit to =
interface radios and TNC via USBs. Isn't it?

Fabio, IT9GSF.
