[RTTY] Windows 7 and USB to Serial adapters

[James Colville]

I use these (both 8 port and 4 port) on Windows XP.

I have not tried them on Windows 7 or Vista. Not sure if the drivers are
available.

They work for serial port generated FSK, CW and PTT, rig control, rotor
control etc. I use N1MM and MMTTY.
And I have bought mine from this seller.
