[time-nuts] USB Interface, legacy Software

[Joe Leikhim]

I have a software program, no longer supported, which requires two RS232 
serial com port interfaces, one to communicate with a sensor (signal 
strength collection receiver) and the second to accept serial data from 
a GPS.

The laptop computer I am using has only one RS232 Com port which I must 
use with the sensor due to incompatibility with USB to serial converters 
I have tried. This leaves the USB for the GPS input. I am assuming that 
the GPS string should be acceptable as I do nor believe the  software 
needs to handshake with the GPS.

I would like to use a "Delorme" USB type receiver on the USB port. Can 
anyone recommend a software add on that will make this type receiver 
appear as a standard RS232 Com port to my software?

Thanks
