John,
The multi-port USB to RS-232 units (I hate to call these "adapters") are
apparently sold for commercial use and from what information I have been
able to find, do not usually give problems. I have a 4 port Edgeport
that works great, but the single port adapter that I keep with my laptop
does not do so well with some applications.
73,
