Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I'm in need for a USB to serial adapter because I ran out of serial ports in one of my machines and don't have any slots left for ISA/PCI serial cards. I recently saw some USB-to-Serial adapters (intended primarily for modems, I think but this shouldn't matter) and thought this could be a solution. However, I know that even under Win98 (which has normally good driver support though not always good drivers) USB is likely to cause problems and would therefore like to know if there's support for such a device in 4-Stable (currently running as of Monday)?
