Jacques, The USB cable I have has a male DB25 connector that plugs into my  
Wisecom modem where a standard 25-Pin RS-232 cable would usually go. That  
is how KPPP detected my modem in the first place.

Anyway, I have a question for everyone. I came across some information  
about an MCT USB-RS232 serial adapter, which is similar, though not  
identical, to the adapter I have now.

Apparently someone developed a driver for this adapter called umct, and  
I'm thinking if the cable I have is somehow similar to the MCT adapter, I  
could obtain the 'umct' driver and install it. As yet, I don't know if  
anyone still offers it, but I thought I'd pass on the information.

Meanwhile, even though Martin explained to me that 'setserial' wasn't set  
up for USB, I tried it on a hunch and was greeted with the following  
message:

/dev/ttyUSB0, UART: 16654, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0

I don't know that it means anything, but I thought I'd pass this on also.

Arthur
