I've got a USB to serial adapter that I picked up from Radio Shack

time there's an updated kernel, I have to rebuild the srpm.

Seems like it would be simpler to get an adapter that work with the current/native pl2303 driver.

For the purpose of serial consoles, these two adapters work for me under pl2303 without any problems using current/past CentOS5 kernels:

Tripp-Lite U209-000-R:

Cables-To-Go 26886:

Think they cost about US$15 each at provantage.com.
