I am trying to use a Belkin USB to RS232 Adaptor with DOS based programs for Telephone system programming. Is there drivers available or is there some type of DOS Emulator that will see virtual ports through Windows 2000?

USB references: USB DUSE driver from Pocketech (www.pocketech.net/downloads.taf), which states in the manual "supports USB hardware that meets the Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) specification, the Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) Specification, and the Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) specifications.

It might be a lot less trouble to purchase a serial port card.
