Thanks to all that helped on getting the communication going between the new Windows 7 computer and the MP.
It is finally done.
I purchased a Vantec USB to Serail port and it didn't work.
I then got a Rosewill adapter and it worked the very first shot out of the box.
Thanks again for pointing the way!

Roy,
I am not about to change the motherboard on this new 'puter.Hi!
I have an adapter on order and it is said to work well on windows 7...
It should be here today.
I'll let the board know when I get it sorted out.
Thanks for the info!

Tom,
I think for now you can probably get away with one of the USB/RS-232
adapters that are on eBay, I saw some for less than five dollars with free
shipping. That would be a whole lot cheaper than changing out the
motherboard in that new machine for one with multiple PCI slots.
