[OZAPRS] usb-serial

[Peter Bye]

I have used one quite a few times, it works fine with KPC's TNC2 and the
D700.  I have used it in XP and Vista.  The only problem being what Damien
has explained below regarding what port I plug it into

I've been known to have up to 10 of the things plugged into my  
workshop laptop at times over the years, with gps's, accelerometers,  
tnc's, router consoles, etc, all running together, and haven't had a  
problem :)  Only issue was making sure that the same devices always  
went into the same ports on the hubs, if I unplugged anything for any  
reason (otherwise it's install drivers yet again for a 'new device',  
and mess up your com port numbering...)

Cheers,

Damien
