Hello,

I have some machines that could benefit from USB -> RS-232
adaptors (I'm guessing these mostly look like cables).  DB9
connectors for the serial end would save a little bulk and
money, although if need be I could use DB25F-DB9M adaptors
with them.

Is there any consistent way of telling which ones are likely
to work with NetBSD, or is it simply a case of buying sample
adaptors until I find a model that works?  Does anyone here
have a brand, model or chip that they would recommend?
