99% of those USB to Serial adaptors are using the same chipset, called "Prolific" something, it doesn't matter too much which vendor driver you use, it may work anyway. If you want I can send you a "generic" driver I've got once that I used on a cable that I've got from the office and didn't have any names on it, I've found it by digging into the digital ID on the "unrecognized" device. Anyway, here's a couple of links you may find useful: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31 http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/ddaStep.asp?Tab=All

Drivers default to creating /dev/cu.KeySerial1 for the first on you plug-in. (they used to not, so you always had to use the same USB port, or manual adjust symlink, etc...) I cannot speak to how they work on windows though... -Patrick -- Patrick Muldoon Network/Software Engineer INOC (http://www.inoc.net) PGPKEY (http://www.inoc.net/~doon) Key ID: 0x370D752C NOTICE: alloc: /dev/null: filesystem full _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
