USB serial port adaptor
Greetings: I need to buy a USB serial port adapter and there is no specific mention of these in the supported hardware list. Archive search indicates that they all suck, but the Prolific chipset sucks less. Anyone care to offer a recommendation? Thanks -- Mark
Re: USB serial port adaptor
I have a PL-2303 USB-to-Serial Port Adapter from Prolific... You can download the drivers for windows, and OpenBSD connects as /dev/cuaU0 normally. Works great on connecting my laptop to my ALIX board at home. cu -s 38400 -l /dev/cuaU0 Of course, you can't get output from my laptop, because of the USB nature... but it works great with the proper connectors...

Re: USB serial port adaptor
I had no problems with ubsa or single port uplcom, they also work for sending BREAK (this is not the case with all USB RS-232 adapters). There are some dual and quad port uplcom devices, the ones I tried don't work too well.
