Just received an email sale flyer from http://newegg.com that features a
USB<-->Serial "dongle" cable based on the hassle-free FTDI chip set for only
$12.29 including free shipping!
This completely avoids the interminable hassles with Prolific-chipset-based
dongles and their gawd-awful buggy drivers.
Deal is on only until 14 August so check out this URL:

and note the promo code EMCXMXM89
A writeup on my website about the issues with USB<-->serial adapters and the
vast advantages of the FTDI chipset is here on my website:
