Most fancy controllers I've seen in my web research, use wireless, or serial connections, nothing usb by default. I'd like to avoid the wireless and X10 interfaces, but serial is easy and cheap. So, part two of my question is how does linux see a usb to serial adapter, since many systems don't come with serial ports any more.
Of course, this question comes on a day when I've decided I don't need to carry my USB Serial dongle around anymore.
I'm relatively certain that Linux generically recognized the USB Serial adapters and assigns them to /dev/tty* (or /dev/cua*?) devices like "normal" serial ports. Someone else will either confirm or correct this, and if not, I can test it on my system at home tonight.
