[TenTec] RIGtalk: found my answer :-)

[Jim Goudie]

Hi John,

RIGtalk emulates a serial port.  I had my OMNI VI hooked up before to an older computer with a serial port.  Now I'm using a "less old" Dell laptop without a serial port.  So, the RIGtalk plugs into a USB port and you connect a cable from it to your radio for rig control, automatic logging of frequency and such. 

That's the gist of it.
