Hello, Congratulations on your pi. You know that there IS a serial port built in on the GPIO bus and you don't really need a USB-RS-232 converter. But the signal levels on the GPIO need a converter from ttl to rs-232 signal levels. Look for something with a MAX232 on it. That's how I connect my m100 to a pi.

When I've done this on a PC, I have used a virtual serial port to map from a specific port to a specific serial port. Presumably this same approach would work with an OpenWRT based solution. Has anyone tried this? It would be a cheap way to make an IP accessible TPDD. One can get Linksys WRT56G routers for 10-20$. I guess I'll have to find a linux virtual serial port. any thoughts?
