Roger,

Glad to hear that worked.

As for the documentation problem, I sent in a patch on 23 June 2004 to add 
these adapters to the 'Configure.help' file for the 
'CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_MCT_U232' description. I'm guessing that it never got 
applied. :^(

USB Developers (esp. Pete Zaitcev),

Did this patch ever get merged? If not, please apply it. 

Just in case it's needed for this trivial docs-only patch:
Signed-off-by: Bill Marr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Thanks!

Bill Marr
