_Keyspan USB 4-Port Serial Adapter (Model USA-49WLC) <http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/5395>

_Lots of inexpensive USB to serial adapters are available and most of them work for general purpose serial communications. Trouble is lots of times we are asking our Serial port to actually work as a 'switch' activating a PTT or Key line, etc. Most of the USB to serial adapters out there won't work in these applications. Keyspan greats a great product. Works on Macintosh, Windows and Linux. They have the typical single USB to serial as well as a single USB to four serial ports. They may even have a two port version (don't recall). The keyspan devices are not as cheap as some of the import ones but you will never have to worry if they will do the job.
