1. Buy a 7 port hub. 2. 7 USB -> Serial adapters 3. Buy super glue. Glue the 7 serial adapters into the 7 port hub. There you go. You have a 7 port multi-port serial device. If you can find one get an 8 port hub.
http://www.pimfg.com sells USB-> Serial for $12.00 each. 12 * 7 = $84. Hub = $10. Glue = $01. Total: $95 On Thu, 2004-02-05 at 06:58, Leonardo G. Di Lella wrote: > Hello, > > ive got a question.
