You can't configure NA for USB ports. What you need is a USB to Serial
Port adaptor. To make things more difficult though, NA and other DOS
based software need a com port that has a legitimate address and IRQ.
The only one I've discovered, and quite probably the only one available
that will provide a fully compatible serial port is the Belkin F5U103.
They should be available at Best Buy and CompUSA stores for about $70.
