Courtney, I must disagree with the statement that a USB to Serial HUB is a waste of computing power. I have need for more than 4 serial ports and to purchase serial port expander cards such as Rocketport is expensive and requires computing power to operate. The USB to serial HUB is a less expensive option. The serial interface in Windows does not seem to have a standard that every manufacture or software developer will follow. My hope is that DXBase will support USB in the future and get away from the resource problems that hamper standard serial ports.
