[Elecraft] The no-serial port conundrum

[Garry Shapiro]

Thank you to all who responded on the above topic. The info on USB to 
serial conversion is quite valuable and will be retained.

As for the specific installation that triggered the inquiry, my 
presumption that NW6P's Dell laptop had no serial ports was 
incorrect--it has a real COM port. I only had to enable it in Device 
Manager and connect a DB9 extender cable to download the latest firmware.
