Hint: run "tail -f /var/log/messages" in a console window before you plug it into the USB port and watch what scrolls up. If no USBtty0 device appears then you've got no chance. If a USBtty0 device appears, you might be lucky. I have a pair of Win95/98 programs that download data from a serial device. They work well on mobo serial ports or a multiport serial PCI card but can't see my pfranc USB serial adapter, which works well with native Linux programs. Some adapters apparently work with Wine but others don't. Martin
