Hi Gus

I have a Edgeport 4-port USB/serial box here and it works good with MMTTY 
and with N1MM Logger.  I think most of the Edgeport boxes are FTDI.  You can 
do a Google search and find lots of them online.  Might even be some on your 
side of the pond.

Here is a list from the N1MM setup manual which shows the USB/serial boxes 
that have been known to work with MMTTY.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your interest in my problem and maybe the FTDI-adaptor is the
solution for me. I do not think they are avalable in Sweden, but I see they
are on sale on the net, so I want you to tell me what specific item I have
to but as there are many on their home page
http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBTTLSerial.htm

Hope to get the item number from you.
