Franklin, Thanks for the advice. I also checked their web page. So far as I can tell they DO NOT have a Windows 7 driver for the KeySpan. Yes, awful. I'll call them on Monday when they're open again. If they can not offer up a driver for W-seven, I'm going to give them heck and then ask them to take the KeySpan back.
I'll then get a 2 port PCI to serial interface for the Inspiron. I can get one for about $20. http://www.usconverters.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=69 73, Larry W7IN On 5/1/2010 5:40 PM, Franklin Antonio wrote: > At 06:58 PM 4/30/2010, Larry Gerhardstein wrote: > >> I have a Keyspan 4-port USB to RS232 box with optical isolators from >> CommFront >> > It seems most likely that you have defective driver software for the > USB device.
