I had a problem like this, so I replaced the cheap converted with one "made" by a California company (it was much nicer, real drivers and instructions for $5 more). I got no output until I remembered that I might need a null modem adapter. Once I added that to mix everything worked like a charm (te

If you're interested in just silencing the noice from that particular device, create a block (or reject) rule that matches the source IP with logging disabled on that rule. I often do this on my WAN interfaces to keep NetBIOS noise from filling up my logs. On Feb 23, 2015 4:35 PM, "Chris Buechler"
