I've had good luck with keyspan's adapter. It was around $40 shipped. Stay away from the Belkin one. Didn't work for crap.

hey jay! :insert wavey smilie here:

yea, the Keyspan one is the one id reccomend too.... i was having problems with some serial adapters here at work... when Jays Belkin one kept crapping out, i did a little research on it and the keyspan one was reccomended to me by kieth at HPtuners...

i had my boss order one or work and it solved our serial connection prob too....
