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, --G.
