Hi Barry,
Which device are you using?
There are quite a few PCMCIA-to-RS232 converters around but they don't
look to be too cheap. If your laptop computer has PCMCIA slots, you
might consider that. I saw a couple doing a Google search that had two
serial ports on DB-9 connectors coming out ot the card.
