Hi Ian, All new Bookworms now come with a USB to Serial converter. These are nothing special and any USB to Serial converter should work, even without XP drivers. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

I suppose what I'm wondering is whether I'd need just a cable with serial to USB or an adaptor with all sorts of fancy Dan drivers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
