I use the ICT90 software with a USB to serial adapter and it works just 
fine, my com ports are all full on the computer so I have to use the USB to 
serial adapter for everything else now, in face I have a couple of them now 
in line too because my serial card broke so I pulled that and just put a 
couple usb to serial adapters back there which seems to work just fine so 
far.
