[WriteLog] USB-serial recs?

[Gerald Schmitt]

There is an alternative Socket Communications makes several PC Card
ex PCMCIA serial cards. Some are ruggedized some have two serial 
ports and some have detachable serial cabls for ease of transport. I 
have found that they are aerial ports in every way so will woks with 
almost any program. I believe there are even DOS drivers for them.

Hope this helps Jerry KK5YY
