Those converters are nice to have and come in real handy for temporary use. I
use them all the time, just not in a 24x7 mode.
I do not have Linux here in front of me now, but I know that in the past when I have had the
FTDI USB -> Serial adapters "loose track" of the ports, I have had to bounce
the USB to Serial modules as well as the FTDI modules to bring it back online. Simply
bouncing the FTDI modules was not enough.
Ah yes, I didn't key off the USB converter lingo...
I used to have trouble with a USB->Serial converter on my Linux box used as a
24/7 igate. I've since gone to hard-wired dual-port serial pcards (with DE-9
connectors) and haven't had a bit of trouble. That's not a solution for those
with recent laptops, or desktops that are full-up on cards.
