Hello,

I am trying to send RS232 data from two notebooks that do not have
serial ports. I know there are USB to serial (RS232) adapters
available. These allow communications to occur through a virtual
serial port. Now, what I need is a USB to USB RS232 serial cable, that
allows serial transmissions to occur, but via USB connections.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?


There are many of these devices available and googling 'USB to RS232' only
gets you a mere 5,830,000 hits. However, anecdotal evidence suggest that
although these devices work well most of the time, the odd bit of software
is ocassionally encountered on ocassion that will not operate well or at all
with these converters.
