I have a Toshiba Satellite (1905-801)...it has no serial ports on it...I have 2 pieces of hardware that need a serial (an X10 controller and a Pronto Remote Control)...I tried a USB to Serial converter...it had 2000 drivers but not XP drivers...I tried it but the adapter doesn't seem to work...it installs but XP says there's a problem...I read somewhere that since the machine doesn't have any com ports of it's own it can't use "virtual" com ports created by the adapter...is this true are there any solutions? anybody have any success with these adapters...recommendations? thanks
