Ed,
Good Luck! I unsuccessfully tried the Entrega (now Xircom, I believe) USB
hub but had absolutely no luck with it.
In the end, I had a completely new PC made up for me with a Byterunner
serial port card. I now have 4 USB, 4 serial and 3 Lpt ports, Life is good.
Your only chance is one of these usb hub ports; some people have had success
other's like me had nothing but grief. GL de Phil W2GE (((73)))

Subject: [WriteLog] USB to Comm ports
Can anyone tell me of an external unit I can plug into my USB port on my
computer that will give me 2 or more comm ports and not use any IRQ's. I
would also like another parallel port in this unit. I would like a unit
that sets up easily!
I am out of IRQ's and need more comm ports.
Thanks,
Ed W0SD
