TT Systems needs it without a doubt. We have used USB2Serial but
encounter crashes when attempting to communicate
with external devices. Definitely hoping for a solid serial experience,
whether it's through USB2Serial or just plain
access to serial ports, ideally also via a multi-port serial card since we
need to be able to address more than one
port. I've been wishin' and hopin' for a long time!
The thing is, the serial ports should work at the moment. by USB2Serial do
you mean http://usb2com.sourceforge.net/?
Currently there are two serial port drivers
pc_serial -- standard hard-wired serial ports
usb_serial -- usb to serial converters
both should create a standard posix style serial port node in /dev/ports/*
and register the serial device with the
device kit (not really used too much, see
//www.freelists.org/post/haiku/Device-Kit,1)
