On FC3 ...

# ls /dev > prior_to_insertion.txt

ttyUSB0

This is a Keyspan adaptor.

Good adapter there, Mike. You made a good choice. Some other folks may
be tempted to skimp on price. The average cheap dongle on E-Bay does NOT
support RS-232 properly. They do not implement or even hook up DTR and
RTS. The code words on E-Bay seem to be "Garmin compatibility."

A small word to the wise.
