I got a USB cable for my t68i.
Is there a way to map the usb port to a com port....i heard that it is doable ...but after much surfing i didn't find much related stuff except for a few leads that state it is doable
Any ideas?
Thnx! |

I think you can buy an adapter. In case you want to do this because you have on USB posts on your PC, you can also buy an USB PCI card - they're quite affordable.

no...my case is that i have a program for the phone that only talks to the phone over the com ports....and i have a usb cable 
That is why...nothing to do with not having enought ports or anything like that
And...yes...i could buy a different cable....but i don't want to spend $$$ ....i am wondering if there is a software way to map usb to a com port
Thnx! |

You definitely can't do that. But as I've said, I think you can buy an USB-to-COM adapter. Run a google search or ask at a computer store. Also: change the damn software!!! What are you using?

The USB cable should be recognized as a COM port by windows. Beucase it's basically a serial cable with a built-in usb-serial adapter.

If it is not currently mapped to any COM port, then you can't do it.
Go to device manager, highlight the device, click on one of the advance tabs, and change it.
