I have one that I originally bought years ago to work with my Palm device.
After Red Hat 7.3 (whatever kernel that was) it just works with Linux. I
have used it for my Palm on Linux and for other things, like talking to
development boards and the like, without any problems. Shows up as
/dev/ttyS1 on my system.

YMMV.
