If I read the installation information correctly, it will install as 
an RS-232 driver on the PC.  If I'm going to have to install RS-232 
drivers, I might as well use an external USB to RS232 adapter and 
leave the adapter and the drivers on the PC.  Otherwise, I could see a 
situation of ending up in the future with multiple RS232 drivers and 
am always fearful of driver conflict. It does save panel space but you 
would have to have a larger opening to deal with the panel thickness.
