I use the same Belkin F5U103 to connect several differant
serials devices although not an ILEC SN10.

SPECIFIC MAKE AND MODEL
of USB-to-serial converter ?

Belkin F5U103

- what is the make and model of the converter ?

Runs just fine off USB power

- did the driver install without dire warnings from
Windoze about 'uncertified driver' and the like ?

Gave a warning about uncertified drivers, but haven't
had trouble with it.

- you are using it with Windoze XP, which SP (service
pack) ?

XP SP2

- does your laptop sometimes crash after you 'resume'
?

Not as far as I've noticed.

- has the helpful MS site explained (after a crash)
that
you need to update the driver, and directed you to
a
site with only non-arabic characters (Japanese, Korean,
Chinese, or somesuch) ?

Nope

- have you got scary messages like 'thread stuck in
kernel' ?

Nope

- does it work reliably with SN10 PC-Link (log, database)
?
- does it work reliably with SN10 'software load' ?

Never hooked it up to an SN10 but have had no problems
with VL and EW D, and have never heard of any problems
specific to this one.


This should help us collate some recommendations...
Thanks in advance !
