[CQ-Contest] USB to Serial Adaptors

[Tom Osborne]

Amen to that.

In the contest computer here (a Dell Dimension 2400), I bought a 4-port 
serial card from a 'Mom and Pop' computer store, installed it, and never 
looked back.  Gave my 5 comports on the computer--more than enough.  Think I 
paid $7.00 for a brand new card.  73
