WL to parallel port

[ronsoto]

hi.. my new pc does not have an rs232 port (db 9 (serial port)). this said i talked with support at davis and i was told that i could use the parallel port (db 25).

have any of you tried this yet? when going to my communications setup, the pull down is 'com (1-18)', and no serial or parallel instances are given.

i just got a db9 mail - db 25 mail at Frys.. and tried to set up WL but WL cannot 'see' the parallel port.

any help would be appreciated, as davis is obviously closed on the weekends

thanks,

ron-

I haven't tried that, Ron. I used a serial-to-USB adapter (also from Frys) and it has worked like a charm for about 4 years on several different computers.

ended up using the rs232 to usb.. works fine.
