I'm wanting to get rid of my boat anchor of a computer running Windows 98 &
N1MM+.

So, what's the best/cheapest solution of getting the RS-232 plug from my
Yaesu FIF-232C box into a USB on the new computer?

I see a USB to RS-232 adapter (USB-RS232) at
http://www.hosenose.com/store/productDetail.aspx?ProdID=5658
<http://www.hosenose.com/store/productDetail.aspx?ProdID=5658&PrimaryCatID=4
6&> &PrimaryCatID=46& for $22 which looks like it shud do the job.

Any suggestions, ideas, comments?
