I should have said that the specific one I was testing earlier this week
came with Mac OS X drivers, but they don't work. It also had drivers
for earlier Mac OS but we had nothing to try those on. It wasn't a
Keyspan one, though; they tend to cost a lot more here (cheapest I can
find is about US$40 equivalent an upwards as opposed to just over a
third of that for the one I tried) but I'm off to order one now.
What drivers? It's a USB-to-Serial adaptor - it should be a
class-compliant device. I have never come across one that actually
needed additional drivers to work in MacOS X or Linux. I haven't tried
one in Windows, but past experience suggests that it needs drivers for
*everything*.

How hard
is it to use Google?
Using Google *and* the search engines on two suppliers sites we use
found adapters, including the one I referred to, that *claim* to work
but don't (or don't work straight off).
