Hi!
Since I will be upgrading my computer with new motherboards, CPU, RAM,
etc. and still use an external USR Sportster 33.6k dial-up modem once in
a while, I noticed all motherboards for i7 setups do not have serial
ports anymore. So, I looked for an adapter like
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812191022 ... I
have never used one before and was wondering if these work well under
Windows XP Pro. SP3, 64-bit Windows, and Debian/Linux?
Thank you in advance. :)
