Its USB in the middle of the run, and 10 _meters_ long, absolutely no 
problem once I got rid the the phony hubs. Runs at full dw speed. I 
think the Just Works(TM) is appropriate. I have another similar length 
of rs232 cable plugged into the deluxe rs232 pack that hits a usb2 
adapter on this end, and a copy of minicom running against it right now. 
Minicom is vt102 so keyboard compatibilty can be a problem as nitros9 
doesn't handle the esc character worth a toot. So the uparrow doesn't 
work for a command recall.
