Real serial ports are always better.
Next new computer I build will more than likely not have good old
fashioned serial ports. I will purchase an expansion card to get them.
I'm one of those IT types.
My company won't be going to Vista anytime soon and it's a BIG company.
MS may have run out the string on this one. They may be shoving it down
consumers necks on every PC purchased, but those that have a choice are
sticking with XP. Just bought the wife a new Dell. It was in the house
15 minutes before I'd started wiping the drive and loading XP.
I have a Vista machine (enterprise) on my desk at work. I use it for
email. All my real work gets done with XP Pro and Linux.

| Vista has so many problems that I cannot tell you what kind of
headache it is for IT people. I know many IT shops are just not going
to Vista although many home computers are beings shipped with Vista. I
don't know if that is because the Gorilla says so, or what.

communicating with the rig. Always works through the update and through
other programs...N1MM Logger...HRD...etc.

Don W. expressed here on the reflector.

product. I will not go to it until there is at least Service Pack 2 or 3.

| YMMV
