Ed, Good Luck! I unsuccessfully tried the Entrega (now Xircom, I believe) USB hub but had absolutely no luck with it. In the end, I had a completely new PC made up for me with a Byterunner serial port card. I now have 4 USB, 4 serial and 3 Lpt ports, Life is good. Your only chance is one of these usb hub ports; some people have had success other's like me had nothing but grief.

I would also like another parallel port in this unit. I would like a unit that sets up easily! I am out of IRQ's and need more comm ports.
