Yes, that's the one I found a while ago, but couldn't quickly this  
morning. Thanks for the confirmation it does work. I'll look into it  
next time I need a serial port.

And Bill, thanks for the hardware USB modem recommendation - I didn't  
know any hardware usb modems existed - I thought they were all  
software modems.
