Hi,

I have a RS-232 external dial-up modem that I use from time to time. It works 
fine when connected through a RS-232 port. I'd like to use the modem with 
another PC that doesn't have a RS-232 port, so I bought a RS-232 to USB adapter 
cable. It's a simple inexpensive cable that doesn't seem to have any 
chips/processors in it.

Now, when I connect the modem through a USB port I can't get the modem to work. 
It doesn't even attempt to dial the number:
