[RTTY] Windows 7 and USB to Serial adapters

[Paul Playford]

I have two IO Gear USB to serial adapters that work great with Logger32, my 
FT1KD, N1MM, and EXTFSK.

Windows XP Pro, Vista 32, Vista 64, Windows 7 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.

I also have a Prolific USB to serial adapter that sends data but does not 
receive.

Supposedly the IO Gear and Prolific adapters are/were made by the same 
company.
