Yes I use my BC250D and Butel Software and my Dell Inspiron 1300 Notebook computer with the Usb Port with no problems.

I have two laptops, neither of which are all that new. One is an older Compaq with no serial ports and a Belkin serial USB adapter works very well.

Did you try the Belkin? I've used my Belkin on a few different computers and it has worked flawlessly with ARC250, various trunker programs and the like. Give it a shot, they're a bit pricey but they're worth it.
