See macnn forums thread

STOP. If you want a PC 9 pin D-type serial interface then the Belkin PDA Adapter does the trick. See my questions & replies in the macnn.com forums, under peripherals and titled "USB-->Serial (Belkin/KeySpan) hyperterminal? "

The Belkin's no good because it has no OS X drivers. The KeySpan that I have has drivers and the apple-style serial ports, but I can get a converter for that.

What I can't do is figure out how to configure the port speed/parity/etc on a /dev/blah... device and have a login prompt waiting at the other end.

Keyspan

A post on the thread on macnn that g4titanium references states that the Keyspan PDA Adapter (not the Keyspan Serial Adapter) in conjunction with Zterm is the way to go. Fry's doesn't carry the Keyspan PDA Adapter, but I'm hoping CompUSA will have it. I'll post my results when I find this adapter. Late,

Hmm. ZTerm kept crashing on my 10.1 box on startup...

Keyspan PDA Serial Adapter + ZTerm works

Keyspan PDA Adapter, $40 at CompUSA (nothing at Frys) in conjuction with ZTerm works fine under X 10.1. A little bulky, a little crude, but works good well.
