Question USB to Serial Adapter
I've heard that some USB to Serial adapters (RS-232C on DB9 connector) don't work and some that do work.

I think it's time that IFI and Parallax switch over completely to USB or Ethernet or actually provide an adapter that works.

I've a friend that is testing a whole batch of them and will tell me which one he likes for his business. In my business, I'm still dealing with RS-232 stuff.

If any of you find an adapter that works, post it here. I'll probably cave in and try to find an older laptop anyways.
