usb serial convertor

2007-10-01 Thread The Longs 
I'm trying to get Gregs temperature controlled fridge to work, but the catch
is that the laptop I'm using doesn't have a serial port. I'm hoping I can
use a usb to serial convertor and tell the program to look at the usb port
for the temperature probes, but I am lost as to how to do this.

A supported USB-to-serial converter will appear as a serial port. For example 
I use a Bafo BF-810 converter which is driven by uplcom(4), and in turn 
ucom(4) which presents /dev/cuaU0 and /dev/ttyU0.
