[svlug] Any recommendations for a USB-serial dongle which will work on Ubuntu?

[Scott Hess]

I have a couple devices which want me to talk to their serial port,
but serial ports are going out of fashion, so I figure I should find a
USB device to do this for me.  But as far as I can tell, getting such
a device working under Linux (from the USB end!) can be pretty
hit-or-miss.

I see a couple recommendations for an "Airlink 101" as seen at
http://www.airlink101.com/products/ac-usbs.html , but I'm not seeing
it for sale in very many places, so I'm a little nervous about it.

Any other recommentations out there?

Thanks,
scott
