#92244 - The Joy of Windows
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Michael Karas said:
Use a simple USB to RS232 adapter.... These adapters come with the necessary Win32 driver. When the driver is properly installed the RS232 port of the adapter magically shows up as an additional COMM port in the device manager I/O ports list. At this point VB with MSCOMM can open that port and begin sending serial data through the adapter.

In linux USB/serial adaptors work out of the box - no drivers needed - just point your app to /dev/ttyUSBx
