Fonzy35, I had to unbox what you were trying to highlight as your trouble spot as your post kept self moderating. In order to get your post to show as the trouble spot I put it in red. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I always found using a USB to Serial adapter to be a pain in the butt and never wanted to be recognized in linux BUT a port replicator always worked.

fonzy35,

I know this post is old but stumbled on it looking for other information.

Why not just run the Windows xx-client right off windows 8.1? It's on this site.
