[aprssig] Prolific USB<>RS232 woes (Was Re: New tablet usable for APRS.)

Thanks for that, I'll investigate.

It's not a FTDI branded device though, just uses their chipset.  Though 
it's not my personal property, we have a couple of them at work, and both 
will potentially be needed to work on '7', so I expect one or other of us 
will try it, if it can be done.  If a link needs changing to enable that, 
we think the case can come apart easily.  It appears to be held together 
by the overall shrink wrapped outer film holding the makers label in 
place.
