I have a cheap USB-to-serial converter which uses the FTDI chipset and works fine. I bought it about a year ago for UK Pounds 12 or so from http://www.usbnow.co.uk/p47/USB_2.0_to_RS232_Adaptor_+_1M_Cable/product_info.html My Thinkpad T42 (just installed 4.4-release) detects this gadget as: uftdi0 at uhub2 port 2 "FTDI USB Serial Converter" rev 1.10/4.00 addr 2 ucom0 at uftdi0 portno 1 and reports: # usbdevs -v -f /dev/usb2 Controller /dev/usb2: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x8086), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 addr 2: full speed, power 44 mA, config 1, USB Serial Converter(0x6001), FTDI(0x0403), rev 4.00, iSerialNumber FTDGFM4H # -- -- From: "Jonathan Thornburg [remove -animal to reply]" <jth...@astro.indiana-zebra.edu> Dept of Astronomy, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA "Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." -- quote by Freire / poster by Oxfam
