I stand corrected! What I was trying to do was to try and prevent
someone not as well versed as you to buy a USB serial adapter, plug it
into Windows running as the sole OS, and then wonder why his DOS
program wouldn't talk to his SN10. Naturally, there are many ways to
skin a cat - especially if you are a computer expert.

Warning, further confusion posted above...
* ILEC SN10 software includes versions for 32-bit Windows
AND 16-bit Windows/DOS.
* DOS versions of SN10 and many other programs run great
under "simulated" DOS, including:
- DOSbox (runs your ILEC software on a Mac with no Windows)
- PC emulators that run on PDAs (as above)
- etc.

For PCs, we recommend Belkin USB-to-serial adapters, as
Belkin drivers have fewer bugs, exist for 64-bit windows, etc.
Many adapters will only function correctly at certain settings,
which *might* be what you need - or not.

For Mac, we recommend Keyspan.

Many adapters have drivers for only one OS (ie, Windows
or Mac), so you have to be a bit careful !

Hope this helps,
