 a while back, i was whining about the lack of functionality of a
particular USB/serial converter:

 does anyone have such a converter that just plain works out of the
box?  i'm more than happy to buy and try another brand if it's the
prolific product that's causing the trouble.

prolific adapters are well known trouble.  FTDI seem to be pretty
transparent. I have several that Just Work(TM).

  that's what i vaguely recall hearing once upon a time, so it's nice
to have at least a bit of confirmation that i should hie me hence to
the geek store and pick up another brand to test. thanks.

I also use an FTDI unit which hasn't failed me.  Uses the ftdi_sio
module and is identified as a FTCEGM4N in dmesg (USB ID 0403:6001).
