[Trlog] USB Pseudo-Serial Port Problem

[Rick Tavan]

I need another serial port on my Win 98 laptop so I can control both 
radios. I am trying to use a Keyspan USB Serial Adapter and am having 
trouble. I am using a serial cable assembled per Elecraft KIO2 
instructions including the jumper that I believe is a loopback. I know 
the built-in real serial port is COM2 and it works fine with this cable 
and TR. The status utility from Keyspan says it has set up the pseudo 
port as COM1.  When I tell TR to use SERIAL 1, it appears not to be 
there. The debug file shows only TIME OUT. The USB port works with a 
Palm Pilot cable and thinks it is COM3. When I tell TR to use SERIAL 3, 
the screen blinks COMMUNICATIONS ERROR continuously and the debug file 
still says TIME OUT.

Any suggestions?
