_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.
