[TriLUG] usb to serial adapter

[Jason Tower]

do these devices work nicely with linux?  are any special drivers required
or is linux support pretty much a given (can i use them with minicom as
/dev/ttyS0 or something similar)?  any particular brands/models y'all can
recommend?

ps - those of you who work at ibm, please put a bug in the ear of the
thinkpad team to INCLUDE A BLOODY SERIAL PORT ON THEIR LAPTOPS!
