Are serial to USB adapters supported?

hi all,

Wondering whether these adapters (the keyspan here, for ex: 
<http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/USA19W/>) are understood by the 
system (be it current or the latest release, I'd upgrade accordingly). 
I'm looking at getting a garmin GPS system, and would need a serial port 
on my laptop to connect the two.
But the laptop only has a serial 9 pin port if I plug the external 
floppy drive; that would make the whole thing clumsy. This sharp mebius 
pc-pj1 does however sport an usb port, which prompts my question.
Any success story, caveats etc?
thanks
Cyril
