Yes, but make sure you get a full featured serial port emulator, and NOT
just one of those cheap ones that are for plugging in a Palm pilot,
etc.  The cheaper ones don't completely emulate the serial port.

I have a Keyspan USA-19HS and it works with the PLM on both windows and
linux.

OK so what should I use? I have a  Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC. Is this OK? Also How do I test the PLM?
Thanks
William
