Watertown, WI | It took a while for me to finally find a USB/232 converter that worked reliability with AgRemote. I think I went through about 5 different units and the only one successful one was one from StarTech. I'm currently able to use it with my Windows 10 ThinkPad. Prior to that I was dragging around my old xp desktop that still had a serial port. Worked great till I accidently knocked it out of the cab once : )
AgRemote must do some sort of unique handshake with the receiver where it auto changes the port comm settings when first connect. No matter what USB/232 converter I used, the comm setting change would happen, but after that AgRemote would hang. I'm assuming it was some sort of timing error that happened during that unique comm setting change handshake and most converters couldn't deal with it.
Here is a link to the converter. Only $19.99 on Newegg:
