      I'm wondering what usb serial adapter is compatible w/ the Alix 2d3 boards. It's getting more difficult to find serial ports these days.  In the Alix docs, I saw mention of a serial-ttl-3.3v interface, or was it a serial-ttl-5v interface (forgot).  Anyhow, I really like the serial-ttl-3.3v interface I use on my routers.  I simply solder a header for tx,rx,&gnd, drill a small hole in the case, install an audio connector jack. These connectors are easy and reliable as heck for console access from a pda, or a mini-laptop w/ usb. A modded cell phone cable can then be used.
