Check here for some info on USB converters.
It's mainly referring to RTTY use but also has reviews of USB converters.
Some of which will work for rig control and TNC.
As for my experience. They have worked for certain functions but not all.
The NEW Belkin has shown promise.
Good luck.
And let's hope Equipment Manufacturers get on the stick and use USB or
Firewire in the future.
