USB devices don't have I/O address ranges or IRQs, by the nature of the USB bus. They don't need them and can't provide them. If your software requires I/O address and IRQ then I suspect it tries to access the serial hardware on low level, and thus won't work with USB-Serial converters. Many old programs (especially DOS) do that. If so, use another, better program - one that uses the OS services to deal with the serial device. This list is all about Linux, BTW - do you have this problem on Linux? 73, Dmitri -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. - Rich Cook
