I just installed silica. It detects the number, but it does not pull up the names from the address book.

any ideas?

Upgraded from Powerbook 12" to Macbook; it no longer works, either because of Intel or USBmodem or both. A sad day, since there is nothing to take it's place.

USB-2-Serial devices & Silica - Version: 1.2, 9/19/2006 12:01PM PST

I've been using this app for sometime now and it is great, does what it says on the tin.

Works fine for one device, but more that one usb2serial device and the device selection in the preferences can only find the device manager software, rather than the subdevices, eg. /dev/tty.usbserial, /dev/tty.usbserial2.

So unfortunately i can't use it anymore. :(

Is this still being developed?
