Hello:

I have a laptop without a serial port.  I've looked around and found that I can either buy a USB to SERIAL adaptor or a PCMCIA to SERIAL adapter.  Does anyone have a recommendation of which type and perhaps a model to look for?  I would like to be able to control both my radio and use TNC's with this laptop.

Thanks for any help.

Radio Shark sells a USB to RS-232 adapter for around US$30 or US$40bucks. Yeah...the price is steep but Linux has drivers for it...atleast the 2.4 and 2.6 series does.
