No pun intended but I believe a regular hobbyist cannot be modified much
with hardware. It would take some serious medication to do that ;-)

Rich: From all I heard so far many people use the RS232-USB path that

RS232 is a really easy protocol and it also is a remedy for newer
laptops that don't offer a RS232 port anymore.
