Good, working product
  
This review is from: Keyspan by Tripp Lite USA-19HS Hi-Speed USB Serial Adapter, PC, MAC, supports Cisco Break Sequence (Personal Computers)
Installed the configuration software, plugged it in, and it worked immediately. I am using it with WinXP Service Pack 2, and it communicates great with a complex serial interface to an unusual piece of electronics I have, so its very compatible with "real" serial ports, unlike some other adapters I have tried that seem to only work with modems or PDA docks. The adapter as shipped is actually a small 1"x1.5"x3" box connected to your computer with a 3' USB cable that can be unplugged from it. It has a green LED on top to tell you when it is properly configured as well as when a program has opened that serial port and when it is passing data. Very functional and easy to use; the configuration software even includes tests to make sure the device is recognized and is properly communicating with your computer. The configuration software also ensures that the same COM port is assigned to the device, no matter which USB port on your computer you plug it into each time, unlike previous adapters I've had which created a different COM port each time you plugged the device into a different USB port (very annoying); the driver also has an option to behave like those other drivers, but most people will probably want to always have it act like the same COM port, the default.

linux works just fine
This review is from: Keyspan by Tripp Lite USA-19HS Hi-Speed USB Serial Adapter, PC, MAC, supports Cisco Break Sequence (Personal Computers)
Despite the first reviewers comments, the Keyspan 19HS works just fine with linux. The driver for the 19HS was included in the kernel source a while ago. Standard off-the-shelf kernels (2.4.24 and 2.6.5) work without any patches. In addition to regular usb support, my kernels also load the keyspan and usb-serial modules.

After executing "mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0", I am happily communicating with Palms and GPSs using the new /dev/ttyUSB0 device.

Works great with OS X
By A Customer
This review is from: Keyspan by Tripp Lite USA-19HS Hi-Speed USB Serial Adapter, PC, MAC, supports Cisco Break Sequence (Personal Computers)
I usually don't write-up reviews, but I am writing this to let those Mac OSX users (inc Panther which is what I am running) know that this adapter does work. I bought this for my Garmin etrex Legend GPS. I use it with my iBook and my Power Mac G4. It was a flawless installation. (1) I installed the Mac OS X drivers (2) told virtual PC to emulate COM 1 using the OS X driver, and (3) Download GPS map data to my GPS. It's that easy! Keyspan has good instructions to set up your serial devices.

Easy installation and does exactly what it is supposed to
I've tried a couple of other serial to USB adapters in the past and they did not work. Based on other positive reviews on Amazon, I decided to try this Keyspan adapter.

*** Sends the Cisco Break Sequence!!! ***
This passes the Cisco Break Sequence!!!

Once I realized that my old USB to Serial dongle failed to pass the Cisco break sequence - I "Googled" around for key break...

YOU MAY NEED TO BUY THREE OF THESE TO GET ONE THAT WORKS!!
I purchased this specific model to interface with an older model Roland plotter from an IMAC - it may well work but the one I received from Amazon was DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.

Keyspan is the best for RS232.
For RS232-only, nobody beats Keyspan. Trying to save $10-$15 with something else just isn't worth it, and will only bite you later.
