[GreenKeys] USB to RS-232

[Andreas Müller]

Hi folks,

I followed this thread and just wanted to remind the following alternative:
I made good experiences with Digi-Portservers instead of USB-to-serial 
adapters. They are installed on the Laptop and you can talk to them as Com-
Port. I even use them in my mobile station and they provide 8 Com-Ports (there 
are different sizes as well) for remote control and data to modem. And as it 
is connected via LAN, you have access from different computers.
But as living in Germany I must admit I did not try to use 45,45 Bd as we use 
50 Bd. 

Regards,
Andreas, DD1LM
