Is that statistically correlated for market share and also for the fact
that all your users are presumably using the same exact product that came
with the X10 hardware ?

pl2303 stuff just works as much as ftdi does (and both work well). The
pl2303 has one minor quirk which is that on mode changes (baud/char size
switch) it seems to dump its entire internal buffering so you lose more
data as you switch but thats really it.
