However, I have a few regular serial devices that I'd still like to be able to connect to it (palm cradle, for example) but it only has a couple of USB ports. I've seen USB port replicators sold that provide the regular 9 and 25 pin serial ports, but even after much searching around, I can't find any information on a) if they even work with freebsd, and if they do b) how they work with freebsd (ie, how do you refer to the serial ports on it) Has anyone done this at all?
