I agree with Jack.... the Keyspan USB-Serial Adapter really works nice
and you can sometimes pick them up on eBay for less.  I have one that still
drives my old PK-232.

When I was looking at the Keyspan site I saw the usb to serial...I was 
tempted...the sad thing is, I have 2 usb to serial db-9's but Davis has no db 9 
adapters any more! I was also considering a modem for the B&W..internals are hard 
to find ( I lost a bid on E-Bay for one)!!
