Dunno.  I'm willing to bet there is an updated driver or some other
crazyness for the belkin unit.

Well, with the cheapo junk usb to RS-232 converter I got, it workes fine
sharing IRQ's with other usb devices like my thumb drive (great place to
copy your logs to), mouse, etc.  However the UC-232 that I have DOES NOT
do baudot, so I can't test how it would work sharing IRQs with that...

Mine is current being used for Rig Control, and that works fine with
everything else going on on my USB bus.
