Hi,

A quick browse of EBay tells me that USB to RS232 adaptors are available and nice and cheap (so not doing much I imagine other than matching pin-outs).

Is it possible to use such an adapter with MorphOS (on a Mac Mini) to connect a 56.6k modem? Just day dreaming about possible MorphOS uses, including running a dial-up BBS :)

Many thanks,

STephen

Actually there is no "matching pin-out" between USB and RS232, these adapters contain som logic (mikrocontroller).

In Prefs->USB->Classes you'll find "serialcp210x.class" and "serialpl2303.class"
which probraly cater the most common variations of these adapters and will act just like serial.device.Every programm that has the option to change device should work this way.

You might also want to check out "cdcacm.class" which supports USB-modems (no neat to go serial in between).

THank you. That's very good news! Has anyone had direct experience of this - and can recommend specific USB modems (or USB->RS232 adaptors) that work with MorphOS?
