Actually, I have two USB-Serial adapters and a null modem adapter (not
the cable) and it works flawlessly. Economically speaking though, it
was ~$60 US for the parts (I tried a cheaper USB-Serial adapter that
didn't work and had to purchase two of the IOGears). The other person
who replied, and bought 2 D10-100's for $1.00 a piece has the right idea
in that regard.... But to your point. It works great!!!!!!
