PHIL HYSTAD SAID: "This is a very surprising statement. The only RS232 interfaces I see lingering around are from the ham radio community. So, do you mean the ham radio "industry"?
Uh - oh. Here we go again ... Phil, if you look in the archive of a few weeks back you will find the whole issue hashed out at great length. I had the same reaction as yours at the outset of the last go-round, but have been educated,enlightened. Bottom line: RS -232 GOOD: one mustn't be biased against it just because it's 40 years old, unix[tm] is also 40 years old and yet is still the standard of excellence. Both are Golden Oldies. USB: BAD [in the context of data communication with complex devices, e.g. radios].
