Default USB to RS-232 Serial Adapter Advice

Some Pfrancs still sell these converters and the driver support by MCT
got back to the old good level.

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).
