W800RF32A USB: Their USB -> Serial adapter cable or Keyspan? - Spoke too soon?

[Charlie Pendleton]

The WGL cable didn't seem to work as well as I originally thought with 
my LynX-Port.  Since switching to the 4-port Keysapn serial (DB-9 
adaptor) and a good quality serial cable things have been running, dare 
I say, quite well!  On the other hand, the WGL cable seems to work as 
advertised on the 800; however, so does a "good quality" cable that is 
considerably less than the WGL cable.  I already had the Keyspan 
adaptor so I think I will take the cheap route out (at least it's 
working well for me).

If anyone wants the WGL cables (I have 2 and 1 was never opened, I'll 
let them go for $18 and I'll pick up shipping (USPS).  Same as I would 
if I returned them.  The one that was opened was only installed for 2 
days.

Please let me know soon since I need to get the cables back in a few 
days before my 30 day MBG runs out.

Best,
Charlie-
