Hi Bill, I have sucessfully sent & received through a serial port, only with Mac OS 9.1 but I don't see why it wouldn't work with OS X.
The Keyspan adapter allows it's port 1 to be referred to as "printer:" so that should work without any problem. You need to set the serialControlString to show the parameters for your communications e.g. "BAUD=9600 PARITY=N" etc etc, rather than setting it to the name of your port. Or don't set it at all to use the defaults, but that's probably a bad idea. I have a test communications stack that I can make available or send to anyone that is interested.
