Anybody know if windows vista will work for serial connections and what not? It would help me a heck of a lot if i could use vista.... Thanks in advance.

I've been able to connect my LG cell phone via USB and use it as a tethered modem. One of my techs has a USB to serial adapter that seems to work well with his laptop running Vista. Most of the programs we are using are simple terminal emulation applications, but I've been able to use some proprietary manufacturer's programs with no trouble on mine.

Thats great to here, my laptop was originally vista downgraded xp pro....the drivers aren't right, so i need to get those going.

I have a usb to serial device, also tether my cell phone. everything i use is over usb to serial so sounds great will be reformatting tonight thanks a lot Ed!

I use vista and had no luck with my usb to serial on any device!I mostly use Procomm,but I can't get it to communicate with nothing...I know i'ts me!Can someone steer me in the right direction!! Thanks Jason!

jayman,

You may want to try another brand of USB-DE9 adapter. I've read in some of our manufacturers' documentation and heard from colleagues that some adapters don't pass testing with certain devices. Specifically, I've both read and heard that Belkin units have issues. Unfortunately, I don't have a brand name to recommend. But, perhaps someone else on here does. I'll try to find one of the documents that specifies some brands that have tested well with our manufacturers' equipment.

Good luck!

Vista does work with mine, i use a radioshack usb to serial cable..the drivers dont work but a quick google search got me the right ones, everything works like a charm, i use Tiger Term--British version of procomm from what i gather..
