Specifically, which apps have you tested?  60 WPM FSK RTTY?  CW keying
using handshake lines (DTR)?

Did you have any trouble getting the driver to work?  Some of these
adapters come with eleventeen drivers for a list of 101 models, none
of which is exactly the part number of what you bought, or it is not
clear which OS they are for.

What COM port numbers are possible?

It is a SIIG CyberSerial 4S.  They seem to work great for rig control using 
Writelog and Logger32.  However, when I launch MMTTY, and select one of 
these ports (i.e COM 5, 6, 7, and 8), the computer immediately reboots.  It is 
quite dramatic.  You are right about all the drivers.  The CD has a bunch of 
drivers in the root directly (which I assume are for XP).  Then there are 
folders for ME, 2000, DOS, 9X, and NT4.
 
I have one built in serial port that is, of course, COM1.  These show up as 
COM 5, 6, 7, and 8.  I've tried installing from the CD as well as from 
drivers downloaded from the site.  I rollback to the original driver.  It is not 
clear to me whether anything is changing.  It seems to load the same driver 
every time.
 
About ready to give up and try something else.

The driver CD is confusing.  I has a whole bunch of drivers on the root.  I 
assume they are for XP.  There are then different folders for 9X, ME, DOS, 
2000, and NT4.
