<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I am attempting to connect my D700 to APRSPoint. I
have a 'modern' Dell laptop sans serial ports. I can attach the TNC output to
a USB port using a Belkin Serial => USB converter and can see the APRS
packets streaming into a terminal program - 9600Baud, 8N1. So I am sure the
converter is working and the comport selection matches what is found in the
Windows XP Device table (com4 in this case). However attaching in EXACTLY the
same way to APRSPoint and setting the TNC port as above does not work. I get the
error message "TNC not detected". I have MapPoint 2004 installed and am using AP
2.1 for MP 2004. I AM a registered user of both MP and AP.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
