Any USB-to-Serial converter that you buy should include a driver which makes it look like a serial port to the operating system. Thus, pyserial should still be the right mechanism. However, it turns out that the Windows serial driver model is rather convoluted and poorly-defined. Many of the converter drivers do not do a thorough job of emulation. You will just have to try it and see. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
