I've used a keyspan adaptor for some time with quite a bit of success.
I've used it under Virtual PC to drive an RS-232 to RS-485 adaptor, so
I've had
Mac OSX -> Virtual PC -> USB -> RS-232 -> RS-485 -> PLC, and it works!
However, you will need to be careful how you set it up. It only works
if the adaptor is set up under the Mac, not the PC. Also, some of the
higher speed applications appear tricky.
Hope that helps.

I am planning to do some microcontroller programming, and the system
I am interested in can be programmed with a "mere" RS232 connection.
I want to get a USB->RS232 adapter, but I was wondering if there are
any problems with drivers/setup etc. Do I need to be worried, or
should I just get the one that has the price and appearance that I
want?
I should mention that the software for programming is under
Unix/FreeBSD. I may also want to use it from Softwindow 95.
Thanks in advance.
