Cookie,
There *are* good USB to serial adapters. Buy reputable brands from
reputable suppliers and you should not have a problem.
If you buy one that does not work, it should be returnable as defective
if the dealer is reputable.
The Elecraft KUSB uses a genuine FTDI chip, so that one should not be a
problem.
I suspect the 'bargain counter' no-name brands may be the major ones
with the fake chips.

The only way I know to use a genuine RS-232 port is to use a desk top
computer with a plug in board. I would also like to use a lap-top computer
and as far as I know RS-232 ports are not available. If anyone knows
differently, please let us in on the info.
