Hi,
quite some working experience on this.
As said elsewhere on this list - the FTDI ones work just fine.
The device recognition stuff on Ubuntu works a treat and they show up as
/dev/ttyUSB0 ... /dev/ttyUSB1....
The device recognition stuff may probe your device on insertion. This
can get in the way as it confuses the CPU on the far
side of the device. The USB interface chips used are known good for
460,800 baud.
Null modem adaptors can be required.
Some linux software is really good - the old favourite was minicom with
all the dial strings removed.
cutecom is a great gui adaptor for showing you the text you type that
goes out the port, and the response back.
Two of these instances (working back to back) verify the cables etc are
good.
The Dick Smith ones work fine - they do not have driver disks, which is
a strong implication they are cross platform.
Cheers,
Derek.

Linux out of the box of course.
