You could if the device has a USB function port and a driver. You say all
the RS232's are taken - on what side? You might look at a USB to serial
converter to plug into the "full" side and then to a UART on the other.

Bruce:

Essentially, I am trying to communicate information from the single
board computer to a pc (and vice versa) serially. All of the DB9
serial links are already occupied as is the parallel port, which is why
I am attempting to utilize usb as a serial port. It seems as if it
should be possible to send information from the single board computer's
usb to the usb of a pc. Have you heard of anyone doing such
communication? Would this require writing a custom driver?

Thanks,

Chad
