I also have a question. My company are developing a device that must be on a stand alone base where info will be recieved via the GSM network.All info will be buffered on the device and the connected to the USB port of a PC. I only have RS232 capabillities on the design and would like to add a FTDI chip USB2RS232 chip on the design to addopt the 2. Can someone please point me in the correct direction. Not all PC's have RS232, but all have USB I am not allowed to open any case to add PCI cards and adding the USB2RS232 into my design will be the cheaper option. Where do I start to look for a CHIP that can do this conversion?
You mention FTDI - don't you think that you should visit their web site and check what chips they have?
