Just curious, but why not use 25-pin to 9-pin serial instead of USB?

Subject: [M100] dlplus on linux mint
On a positive note, thank you to everyone whose advice helped me to
finally get Virtual T working on my Linux Mint laptop.
I think I may have said that I had Desklink working, and was
communicating with my Model 100. Well, I spoke too soon. The best way
I can explain it is that it seemed to be working, but it is actually
working sporadically or not at all. The fact that I have had some
limited success tells me that I am very close, having solved obvious
problems like permissions on the USB port. The fly in the ointment now
is the USB to serial adaptor.
I have had three so far, a radio shack model, a Prolific one, and my
current one, an FTDI model with null modem built in. Here are the
relevant lines from /etc/modlules:
#usbserial vendor=0x1453 product=0x4026
#usbserial vendor=0x067b product=0x2303
usbserial vendor=0x0403 product=0x6001
I realise that this is more of Linux problem than a model T question,
but it would be just great if I could actually succeed at this
particular project. I have 3 different USB to serial cables available
(actually I have three Prolific ones that are supposedly the same
under the hood).
