Thanks! The "Cables Unlimited" USB-Serial adapter from TigerDirect[1] is based on the FTDI chipset and works really well. It supports up to 1MBps and can do non-standard rates (in -CURRENT). That said, we've got pretty comprehensive support for USB-serial converters. I've bought five or six different ones, with the "Cables Unlimited" one being the most expensive, and they're all supported. The cheaper ones I've tried either don't do arbitrary rates, support only up to 115200, or occasionally drop characters under continuous communication though.
