Ok, now I remember.
But that is the only exception known and reported so far.
It is really hard to explain why Outlink does not work via SER-001.
The only explanation I have is that this program might check if the dongle
is plugged in. And if you use the SER-001 it will be of course not be
plugged.
But maybe its worth a try? I am curious about it.
As I said before - from an electrical point of view there is NO difference
using the NIC port via Dongle or the SER-001.
