recommend serial-to-usb adapter?
I have a embedded ECU that I have to program and I have been doing it with an older laptop that still has a serial port. I would like to use one of my newer laptops but the last time I tried buying a serial-to-usb convertor at Frys Electronics I ended up with one that I just could not get to function in Linux. Can anyone recommend a brand or model to me and possibly a place that stocks such a thing? If it was local I would have better chance of returning it if it did not work. Thanks in advance. -- Steven DuChene --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Re: recommend serial-to-usb adapter?
The Linux drivers for USB-to-serial converters are pretty robust now days. I have seen ones from Tripplite and others work well. Take care with your connection parameters, however. If you use software flow control (a.k.a. Xon-Xoff) and baud rate above 19.2K you will have issues with long data streams. It is as if the flow control is not fast enough through the driver layers and bytes will drop. This happens with a USB-to-serial converter on Windows, Linux or OSX. A way around it is to use correcting protocols like kermit for long transfers, if your target supports such.

Anyone use Google voice?
Wifi calling on my android phone with T-mobile is not very reliable. Some wifi points connect, some don't, those that connect drop calls, etc. I think google voice is VoIP, so it sounds as if it would be a replacement for the wifi calling app on my phone. But some boards say that T-mobile customers get charged minutes even when using GV. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone on the list uses GV + Android + T-mobile and what their experience has been. Also, in reading about GV, it says I have to get a new phone number. How does that number relate to my mobile number, or is it something in the background that the world does not see? The google docs are not very helpful in explaining just what GV provides.

LibreOffice and PDF's
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Someone here was mentioning they needed PDF viewing and IIRC modifying. On the CLI pdftk is great, and there is a gui for this app. It's the alphabet soup of doing someting to a PDF that needs to be done.

RE: recommend serial-to-usb adapter?
I haven't hit a random off-brand usb to serial adapter in years that linux *didn't* recognize and *just work*. I prefer the $22 dollar dual usb serial adapter you can get from frys, as I'm typically deploying network hardware in mass and need multiple at a time. I have an 8 port brick usb-to-serial I sniped off ebay cheap as well that is just plug and play too. For the most part, they all seem to use the same Prolific (no pun intended) chipset, or some variant thereof. Long story short, I think you're probably safe - as stated, the drivers are very robust these days. -mb Original Message Subject: Re: recommend serial-to-usb adapter?

Re: Anyone use Google voice?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have had GoogleVoice for over a year now. Just when Google bought GrandCentral. Grand Central was formed to help partly homeless people have a means of having a permanent number so they could obtain housing and employment. GV works on landlines and Cellular. I only give out my GV #, and then set up groups, call announcements, block calls, set up ring times, use website buttons -- see gm5729.blogspot.com for example -- I have never tried it over wifi, but my phone literally won't do it. Because as soon as the phone call is initiated it rolls over to the cellular/3/4G networks. I hope that answers your question. You can pull up an web page and place all your contacts in GV which Gmail will also share, but don't dial from GMail or there is an extra charge, and I think that may be where you are hearing about the wifi part. You can have GV web page up, dial or text from the website. My carriers have always charged me whatever their unit of measure is for a phone call and text/sms message. You can text all night off the web site for free. Calls will be charged. Basically you dial a number, Google connects to one of your 6 pre-arranged numbers that you select with all its features and then connects to the other side. The call will show up on your web page after is it terminated and will show who, what, how many minutes, you can record calls and GV will transcribe them for you. It goes on... I like it. vp -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNQI5eAAoJEKABT2DAOAZyl/sH/RXI8xMfkRa5aomuWKTDIxPP SEEtmGx5kOW/b/X/Td3D5F3VeAwooTQydRAQKSzlUvXkr8F2V2933mlgtMz/MuLX n3yo1JJ0zIBHdHE1U/Ja5vkq4Bls0IWLWLi/3lgqqrqGETLoqjZa/pa2L1lPjsr7 BMZfu+jSA8mxxWARw9eTuUp/F/3iCyjkva9LDh1vS/tm8kVVAp4NtWkKBaF3qcO+ kmciUxIL+YAbLRFgBbCudYo0iXGzv4IoNKjAkHTg+vrlURll2PcYKSZrlIpSFBpw IDBH4GUWq/r+wcKc09scMz52KlZo6cntED4C2Dg32DUcTB6O/R+JTZkHvXsixqI= =rlhI -END PGP SIGNATURE- --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: Anyone use Google voice?
I use google voice in a different capacity. The number tied to GV is the one I give out. I can then tell GV where to send that call to, so it acts as a router. I also keep most of my friends and colleagues in my address book, where I put them in a group of GV and customize the response. So when I'm willing to accept calls from family, but not friends, I just set it up like that and give some custom voicemails to the groups in question. I have the GV android app, but use it mainly to manage my voicemails more effectively than verizon's normal voicemail system.
