[RTTY] Serial Port for RTTY

[Brahmangou at aol.com]

Hi All,
 
I've been upgrading my computers in the shack lately. As everyone knows,  
Vista is almost mandatory on a new computer. A good point for Vista is adding a  
serial card. What a breeze! I just put 4 of the cheap, E-bay, 2 port, 14 
dollar  serial cards into my different Vista computers, and 1 different mfgr's 
cheap  e-bay serial card into a friends computer. In my computers the drivers were 
 already in Vista. In my friend's computer we had to load the drivers from a 
CD.  I was ready for a 3 day fight like it used to be when installing a serial 
card  on older versions of Windows. Everything was automatic in Vista. A 3 
minute job. 
 
With all of the traffic on the reflector about usb to serial adapters, I  
thought I'd mention the ease and nearly non-expense of just popping in a serial  
card.
