A few weeks ago I needed to have one serial output feed several 
serial inputs and assumed that N8VB's VCOM could be set up as a 
virtual Y" cable to allow this, but was not able to get it to work - 
it would allow only one output per input. If there is a way, I would 
like to know how - I still need this functionality.
