PS: Are usb2serial adapters any good?
Most work okay at lower baud rates. Some handle higher rates well. A few can do hardware flow control correctly. There are two-or-so models that do all the above, and have a working serial break, too.
For something like a serial console, you should be fine. If you want to do more complicated things, you want a *real* serial port.
