Go here and enlighten yourself:

To set the baud rate to 9600 because I wanted to. It worked well for me when I had a real serial port.

No syntax error. Try envoking xwisp2w -? and closely reading the help you see. comX is a valid command. The device manager shows the USB converter to be com3. I have since changed that to port 3 as suggested by some on this list. Since my original posting, I have posted another one outlining my latest command line and results of using it.

I never implied that there was a problem with XWisp2. I was merely asking if using a usb to serial converter might be a problem. I was hoping someone had a work-around.

Thanks for your response.
