Hi Greg,
I'm using Virtualbox 2.0.6 under a Windows XP host. I haven't noticed
any serial port issues, certainly not as described in the above ticket.
(Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that by default the Dectalk
USB in serial mode seems to use Xon/Xoff handshaking?)
I use a USB-to-serial converter on both my desktop and laptop with the
Dectalk this way. VirtualBox doesn't react oddly at all, and the unit just
works. I must confess, though, that the intricacies of serial
communications are for the most part beyond me. I'm just glad to be able to
say that it works for me, though I don't know why.
Hope this helps, somehow.
Best,
Zack.
