Re: Are serial to USB adapters supported?

The keyspans don't work, but the IoGear one is supported by -current. 
The driver *should* be MFC'd shortly, and if you search the archives of 
this list you will find some instructions on how to manually MFC the 
driver for yourself. It works well enough to do things like sync palms 
or hook up wireless WAN devices or GPS receivers, etc.
