Reliable Serial Adaptors

Howdy Folks
Decided the serial adaptor I've been using is no longer of any use. The random dropouts while running VEAL are annoying to the point of screaming! To date Ive been using the standard Jaycar USB to serial unit. Im sure many of you are familiar with these.
Went to the EFI Analytics page to buy one of theirs (about $20) and found the freight was almost as much and a 6-8 week wait for basic US mail. Surely theres a local one I can get here which wont drop out on me!
I'd love to hear what other locals are using.
Thanks

I think that's the one I use. It seems to work OK with WIN 7 and XP.

Thanks for your help fellas. I decided to have a crack at re-installing TS and MLV onto an older machine I had kicking around which has a proper com port. It's a slower macine and physically larger than the newer one, but it works. So far, I've had no dropouts at all, and managed to run VEAL and/or take logs continuosly for 45 minutes! The FB is starting to run pretty sweet now.
