There are no new PC with true serial ports.

The best solution, but only if the software allows it is an old 486 (the last generation with true RS232 ports - that includes real +-15V) with W95 (last version of windows that allows direct hardware access).

Just a philosophical remark.

ok then, use a pc/laptop with a 9 pin port then! they seem to work, well they do for me and my powersync! :P

Is this question cable or satellite related?

I am running vista ultimate 64bit on my laptop and works well with all related applications ( sidewinder , win-ex , libby etc...) , i also use a rs232-usb adaptor with my powersync unlooper the only issue i had to start with was com port numbering ,you need to set the com port number to 1 or 2 within the computers device manager. With vista all applications they need to be ran as administrator ( right click program item , run as administrator )
