Hi aubrey;
this has been discussed in this thread. If you have not red it yet, I think you might have a look at it and check the discussion. Maybe you´ll find some initial directions there.
Success!

Hi Aubrey. I'm not the best at this, but I just did:
- Plug the USB into the laptop and then load the driver dialog, either from the tray icon or Control Panel>System>Hardware tab>Device Manager>Ports.
- Prolific seem to change the COM port used every time I plug in, so I always find which one (COM9 today) from the driver. I set the comm details _in the driver_ to 9600,8,N,1, no flow control.
- As a test, load HyperTerminal and in File Properties set the COM port to the right one. Check Configure on COM9 (or whatever) to make sure the properties are the same as the driver - interestingly, mine worked with xon/xoff, which I think is HyperTerminal/Kermit for no _hardware_ flow control
- Save that HyperTerminal config, just so it's easy to find and amend.
- File>Open the new config file.
- On 48GX, start Kermit from right-shift I/O... and set all the fields with the chooser, and pick any old object, ASCII.
- Start Receive Kermit in HyperTerminal, picking the directory where - Kermit writes the filename as the object name.
- Click Send in 48GX Kermit. You'll see a few packets go.
- Check the ASCII object file in your laptop directory.
Post back your result.
