Hello,
I am trying to send RS232 data from two notebooks that do not have serial ports. I know there are USB to serial (RS232) adapters available. These allow communications to occur through a virtual serial port. Now, what I need is a USB to USB RS232 serial cable, that allows serial transmissions to occur, but via USB connections.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks Mike
You need a USB->serial adapter on each PC and a null modem cable (or adapter) between the two USB->serial adapters.

that's either inpossible or trivially easy (try a null modem cable)
I thought someone would have recommended this before, but I don't remember seeing it posted. Instead of USB-serial-USB, you can just make a USB network between your two computers with a special USB cable. Take a look here and take your choice:
