I've had weird behaviour with USB-2-serial adapters even under Windows
with one of our DNC programs. I think one should first prove the
viabity of the platorm using *real* serial port, eventually trying the
USB conversion later. The cabling to the device also could be an
issue, adding loopbacks at the PC side could help (try 1+4+6 and 7+8
on a DB9).
