Smart Money Buys this Product!

This is a wonderful USB to serial adaptor for use with the Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 distribution. If you have DOS-based software that requires a serial port, just edit your /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf file with the command:
sudo gedit /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf
and scroll down to the
*** Serial Port Settings section and add this line:
$_COM1 = "/dev/ttyUSB0"
save and close the file and you're good to go.
Hope this helps! This is a GREAT product.
What's great about it: auto detected by Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Linux
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

USB to Serial

Works perfectly with Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 8.10. Just plug it in and go. Highly reliable. I've had better results with this one than the Belkin version FWIW.
