<div></div>Hi Michelle, <br><br> Well I won't "spam" the list, but I'd claim we make the best - <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.commandir.com/" target="_blank">
www.commandir.com</a> - USB Tx + Rx, and we're in Toronto. Cheers, <br><br>Matthew

<div>I use a USB-UIRT. This CAN offload all work to the device itself, unfortuately the drivers for the Linux version don't do this, nethertheless it</div>
<div>still works pretty well!</div>
