Some excellent reading on all the posts to this subject.  John is
correct in saying to use the on-board COM port for FSK.  However, I've
asked Santa Claus to bring me a Belkin F5U103 USB-to-Serial adapter.

I know the F5U103 works on FSK because Dick, KD6AZN, uses one for FSK
transmission from his QTH is Japan (7J1BBC).  However, many report they
can't get it work on FSK.  I mainly want one so I can have radio control
from my work laptop which has only one COM port.  I understand some
Toshiba laptops don't even come with a COM port.

Good Luck - I have NEVER had ANYTHING other then a cable by Belkin work.
Hope you have better luck!!!
