There the situation is much worse.  There's no standard for USB-to-serial
(Microsoft vetoed it).  NetBSD currently only supports dongles with the FTDI
chip.  But if you can get the specs for the chip in a dongle writing a driver is
not that hard (it's getting the specs that is hard; some chip vendors refuse
to give the out).
