USB->serial->USB adapter needed

E

Hello,

I am trying to send RS232 data from two notebooks that do not have
serial ports. I know there are USB to serial (RS232) adapters
available. These allow communications to occur through a virtual
serial port. Now, what I need is a USB to USB RS232 serial cable, that
allows serial transmissions to occur, but via USB connections.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Mike

You need a USB->serial adapter on each PC and a null modem cable (or
adapter) between the two USB->serial adapters.

that's either inpossible or trivially easy (try a null modem cable)
