Since there has been no response on this issue, I assume no one else is
using these devices in this kind of a configuration.
My solution to the problem was to have to get a 2-****t com device
interface
attachment which plugs into a single USB ****t. The cost is just a little
higher than one of the Silicon Laboratories CP2103-EB devices, also. This
has the added benefit of freeing up one USB ****t while connecting one or
two
RS232 devices.
I am totally disappointed in the lack of response from Silicon
Laboratories
on this issue. I will never use any of their products in the future,
either
at home or at work. I will also recommend to anyone else to not use their
products. You will not get any technical sup****t...
