I had 3 different USB to serial interfaces. I plugged them into the computer and ALL 3 WERE RECOGNIZED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL DRIVERS! The COM ports are denoted as ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, etc<br><br>Debian is the way to go. It's free and package support for just about anything is outstanding. It's also VERY stable. <br><br>Mike, AA9VI<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div class="plainMail"><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Message: 1<br>Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2012 10:33:40 -0500<br>From: "N0MR" <<a ymailto="mailto:n0mr@lakenet.com" href="x-msg://31/mc/compose?to=n0mr@lakenet.com">n0mr@lakenet.com</a>><br>Subject: [nos-bbs] Comm
