I seem to remember the logic levels used by the E3 to be the reverse of what is 
normally used for TTL serial, hence the need for an invertor.  Don't know if 
the USB TTL serial devices support that variation.

When I briefly was playing with this a long time ago I used:

- USB to RS232
- MAX (of some sort) to level shift to TTL
- MAX (well same one, it had two sets of level shifters) to level shift back to 
RS232
- E3
