I know that a lot of people have problems with USB-serial converters, and I have had these problems with some software, however I've been using the Fortec programs for my Lifetime and Ultra with USB-serial converters with no problems. I have 2 of the converters, a real old one, I think it's IOGEAR or something like that, and a newer one that I think came from RS. I think that the RS thing gave me some problems with some software, because it seems to insist on being on high port numbers like 5 or 6 that some software doesn't support, however my old IOGEAR thing has worked with everything I've tried on it, and it lets me choose low port numbers if I like. The RS devise actually lets me change the port number, but it only seems to work well on the one it chooses automatically for some reason.
