_Keyspan USB 4-Port Serial Adapter (Model USA-49WLC)

_Lots of inexpensive USB to serial adapters are available and most of
them work for general purpose serial communications. Trouble is lots of
times we are asking our Serial port to actually work as a 'switch'
activating a PTT or Key line, etc. Most of the USB to serial adapters
out there won't work in these applications. Keyspan greats a great
product. Works on Macintosh, Windows and Linux. They have the typical
single USB to serial as well as a single USB to four serial ports. They
may even have a two port version (don't recall). The keyspan devices are
not as cheap as some of the import ones but you will never have to worry
if they will do the job.
HHHMMM the $10 USD cable I bought from Ebay worked with no problem under
Linux. Just a generic no-name cable. No MS drivers included, typical for
this type of cable.
