USB to RS-232 Serial Adapter Advice

I talked with Larry Berg at Pfranc in October 2008 about buying his
USB to serial converter. Unfortunately, he no longer sells them. He
was unhappy because the manufacturer wouldn't support the drivers, and
didn't want his name associated with them anymore. He recommended any
adapter with the Prolific PC2303 or higher chip set, as long as it had
current XP or Vista drivers (he said that the drivers are the primary
source of trouble).

One trick is to install the latest Prolific drivers if your converter
is a generic type. I have a generic converter from Best Buy. It
works fine with SeeYou and CAI but I could not get LXe to work with it
even after installing the latest drivers from the converter
manufacturer. I finally determined that it was using the Prolific
chip set so I installed the latest drivers from Prolific and the
converter began to work properly with LXe.
Aren't there any other mac whackers out there besides me?
