Yea, he's right...if you have 2 serial ports in your PC, great. If you
have
a laptop with only one port, I'd go the route of the PCMCIA Serial Card.
I
havent seen any USB adaptors that work 100%.

How many do you want? I can supply you with adapters that even prevent the
crazy mouse problem in XP and win2K.

Serial Ports cant be shared, just so you know. So if you want the
second
program to use what the first is using, it wont work.

With a software utility you can. You can use Serial Splitter from
www.eltima.com or VirtualPlex-1 from www.shipmodul.com. The latter will
also
allow all applications to talk back to the one serial port. The only
problem
for the OP is that he runs Windows 98. Both utilities only run on NT4,
2000
or XP.
