Well maybe someone will see the revised header and hopefully have some 
ideas... I'd hate for us to have to invest that kind of money in a 
Rocketport--they're just so damn costly :(

Plus, if we can get USB-to-serial adapters to work, if anyone ever 
leaves our little bandwidth collective, they can take it with them...

I hope there's something out there that works :-/ I'm going to give the 
keyspan a shot Thursday night just to see what happens.

Best,
