There was a previous discussion on this topic concerning the issues of 
USB/serial adapter port assignments and hotplug.

I may have a solution to the assignment issue. If you want to have 
several port adapters on USB but always have them assigned to particular 
ports, then buy a couple of adapters from different manufacturers so 
each one is unique.  That should make the USB id unique also. Now write 
a hotplug script that when it sees a particular ID come online to assign 
the adapter to a specific /dev/? port.
