Which brand did you try? I use a Keyspan converter, and although I haven't
tried it directly from my Ubuntu VM, it works great with OS X...

Subject: recommend serial-to-usb adapter?

I have a embedded ECU that I have to program and I have been doing it with
an older laptop that still has a serial port. I would like to use one of my
newer laptops but the last time I tried buying a serial-to-usb convertor at
Frys Electronics I ended up with one that I just could not get to function
in Linux. Can anyone recommend a brand or model to me and possibly a place
that stocks such a thing? If it was local I would have better chance of
returning it if it did not work.

Thanks in advance.
