I enquired about a Pactor II USB modem PactorIII with software) from a
marine shop here. The guy said he has ordered them but advised not to
get the USB model as they were recalled a while ago due to faults.

I would rather have USB as I don't have any RS3232 ports and I would
rather not have the COM to USB adapter - though PFranc's one was
reasonably trouble free. Someone in this group reccommended it about 7
years ago.

Any advice???

Thanks
