Most of the usb->serial convertes use the chips since they are inexpensive and the driver is common. If you find a usb->serial converter, just search for it's name and 'FTDI' and you'll be able to find out.
Better yet, search for the name of it and 'Linux' and you'll probably find that most converters are Linux friendly. -Mark > Is there a local vendor for their hardware? > > >I'm curious, have you tried this recently?
