Someone (Allen Briggs?) reported problems (that I can't recall off the
top of my head) when trying to use more than one USB serial port at a
time. This works OK with more than one ulpcom in use?
How does this compare price-wise with buying a 16 port serial card? I'm
not sure of US prices.
And please, don't worry about the picture request :-)
