[Trlog] TR-Log USB question

[Igor Sokolov]

You may try Windows reincarnation of TRlog called TR4W. It is free and can 
be downloaded here tr4w.qrz.ru
It supports almost all the old TRlog commands and works with USB to serial 
adapters. It also supports paddle and would look very familiar to TRlog 
user.
