I just MFC'd the umct(4) driver from 5-CURRENT to 4-STABLE for inclusion in FreeBSD 4.10. Among other things, this driver supports the Belkin USB PDA Adapter, which lets you plug old-fashioned 9-pin serial devices into USB ports via the ucom(4) driver. I'm using this locally to give a box more serial ports to hook up other machines' serial consoles with a fair amount of luck. It's probably not the cheapest adapter in the world, but it seems to work quite well with both -CURRENT and now -STABLE.
If you have any problems as a result of the MFC (build, etc, for the driver), please let me know. More general USB questions are probably still best addressed to Julian Elischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Thanks, needless to say, to Scottl Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, for writing this driver which required only trivial tweaking to get to work in 4.x.
