.... and if you're doing a net5501 with the standard case and you're not stuffing the add-in card slot, check out www.pccables.com or similar. Part # 07121 (DTK) or part # 07106 with your own stuffing works here just dandy. ( and if you're being creative with where the stuff on the add-in card terminates, you might even be able to use them *with* an add in card, who knows. ) They also have some filler panels with the 9 pin port shape punched out twice for a 2-up arrangement for a USB serial and a legacy serial side-by side -ish ( sorry part number not handy ) Thread the bottom of the filler panel with an 8-32 tap and you can use the hole cover screw on the end close to the board for a nice snug fit.
