OK, Help please
I have a new laptop with a usb port. I want to setup easy dnc, how and where do I get a cable to go from USB to 25 pin rs232c. Does this require additional software? Any help would be greatly welcomed!
Thanks

You can get a USB/RS232 adapter from any computer store or radioshack - It's a short cable with a USB plug on one end and a 9pin Rs232 on the other.

You then just use a standard 9pin-to-25pin RS232 cable

The USB adapter will normally have a Windows CD which installs the USB/RS232 drivers and then you'll see the new RS232 port in windows device manager.
