I have a Toshiba P4 3ghz as well, and have found the USB to serial are dodgy at best. I decided on a PCMCIA card for a dedicated serial port, although expensive, they work every time..Incidentally I tried 3 different types of Serial/USB cables, and none were successful. I had one work a couple of times, then it decided that is was not part of the computer and no way was it recognised. Too much hassle in my opinion, at least on my Tosh lappy
