Rob,
You have received a lot of information but since no one else has brought it
up...
RS-232 originally defined both levels and various signal pins. Most USB to
RS-232 converters do not have all of the other signals. They will have Tx and
Rx, but if your gizmo needs the other signals for flow control, such as
RTS/CTS, DTR etc, you may not get by with a USB-to-serial converter.

Hello all,
I think I may have the dumb question of the day.
Does anyone (or in the case of the BVARC brain trust) or everyone know if the
RS232 to USB convertors are bidirectional?
We have an issue at work where there is some sort of box/gadget/gizmo attached
to one of our older servers via an RS232 (DB9?) cable. Needless to say, the
server with this RS232 port is beyond end of life. Can I use a RS232 to USB
setup
to connect this gizmo to a new server using a USB port.
On the slight chance that the site coordinator is wrong, and the RS232 is on
the box/gadget/gizmo, that’s why I asked if these RS232 to USB convertors are
bidirectional.
Last, does anyone know a source in town for the RS232 to USB with the FTDI
chipset here in town?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rob McClure
