is there another choice?

stay away from Belkin adapters.  I've had good luck with Keyspan, and 
so far one I've played with that's based on the FTDI chipset has 
performed OK.

The big hassle for me is the fact that the device special file name 
depends on the order in which the OS decides to enumerate the device, 
and that order can change depend on where it's plugged in as well as 
other factors.
