[TenTec] USB Serial Converters

[Rick Williams]

Well I'm about to upgrade to a new computer.  It seems that these days not
only are serial ports scarce - so are PCI slots.  At the moment I'm
controlling my Orion, Argo V and digital PTT with serial ports.  In
addition, I'm operating a lot of other gear with a 4th port through a
4-position switch (LP-100, Icom HT software and my Palm).

I've been looking at a 4-port USB to DB-9 serial adapter by USBGear.

.. and the SerialGear:

No doubt there are others out there.

Does anyone have any experience with these 2 products or a RECOMMENDATION on
another USB to RS-232 box.

Thanks.
