I have 4 things running on RS232 to serial adapters and hopefully putting them on separate RS232 connections will fix the problem.

Only time will tell.
I got fed up with USB convertors at one stage, bought a multi RS232 card and it all worked. RS232 is still used for industrial applications, its simple and bullet proof.
