And why is SMP so rare that it wouldn't have been tested?
So if Belkin is too cheap-brand, who makes an expensive
USB to serial converter that'll perform more reliably
and where can I buy it? For many of these odd gizmos,
are they actually made by reputable expensive companies?
There's a Cisco USB-to-serial adapter I don't know about?
Keyspan. Their stuff isn't horribly expensive, but it seems to Just
Work.
Belkin is a fairly decent brand, but most of their stuff is rebadged
something else, and it's definitely oriented to consumer-level Windows
users. In my experience, the package usually doesn't address
non-Windows support, and there's a reason for that.
