I work in a Motorola shop and needed a 'good' USB adapter for
programming subscribers.
That leaves me with what I had on hand until delivery of 'new' kit (7 to
10 days out).
Was confused as to why the 'el-cheapos' using the same PL2303 chip
seemed to work well with minicom, but didn't in Xastir. Still not sure
why - but there we are.

When I coded some of the Keyspan hardware, we made it so that you could plug
the adapter into any USB slot and it would have the same address. Ultimately,
it was a forwarding kind of address, but the same forward nonetheless. Could
you imagine what people have to go through if they change USB ports all the
time? Interoperability is great- but at what cost?
Is there a reason you don't want to use the piece of hardware that worked
before? Are you too cheap to pay for a quality solution or...?

Subject: [Xastir] USB to RS-232 issue
This was working great. (Fedora 14 current update - Xastir from CVS today)
PL-1203 USB to RS-232 to a KPC3+ (serial, no KISS), but I was using a
'keyspan' adapter. Switched to a 'no-name' PL-1203 adapter and now I can
no longer 'open' the TNC under interfaces. However, I can access the TNC
with this no name adapter using minicom just fine.
Is it as obvious as the adapter being a POS or am I missing something else.
Have changed permissions on /dev/ttyUSB0, set the sticky bit on xastir,
deleted the interface and created new, even started Xastir as root - no
joy. Any ideas on what else I can try other than getting my keyspan back?
thanks!
