+1 for the Gearmo 4-port. It is FTDI based and works flawlessly on OS X. Hard to beat for < $50. I use it in tandem with a couple of KUSB's and KXUSB's to connect all of my Elecraft gear to my Mac. No need to do any cable swapping. Everything has it's own, dedicated USB/Serial adapter!

One advantage of the four port Gearmo (for under $50) is that it terminates in male DB9 plugs that go right onto the back of the P3 and KPA500, no added RS232 jumpers needed. I did need KXSER jumpers for the 3.5mm Elecraft devices: KAT500, KX3, KXPA100, XG3. W2, K144XV.
