right. and now once again the problem remains. (if I am right)
so a usb to serial converter wil show up to the computer as a serial port.
That is great but jaws 11 needs to see it as a parallel port. now it is
possible to add a parallel port to a computer by either a usb to parallel
converter, or a parallel card installed in the computer. Now the qustion
becomes how to connect the parallel port to the navigator.

hmmm, that's right, a senior mmoment, lol! if it has a serial port,
you might try a usb to serial adapter and that may work, i have an
alva from 1996 and i use a usb to serial adapter in order to use it
with the serial interface instead of the parallel since the
motherboard i have doesn't have a parallel port and it works great.
