Adam, I've got a standard Targus usb/serial port converter and from memory have
to use a null modem cable with the (older) EW Model d logger. The manual
describes the lead as being 'special'. With the null modem cable the EW works
faultlessly after the correct ports are assigned in the system to match the
software.

First I've heard of that but it could be true. The DB9 end of the USb
to serial should be wired like the serial port on a PC. I guess some
may have pins 2 and 3 swapped. In which case you need a null modem
adapter which swaps them again.
