OT: USB - RS-232 Adapter

Everyone, I know this is slightly (mostly??) off topic but I am in the market for a USB to RS-232 adapter for use with my radios (ft-897d and th-d7ag). My main requirement be that it works with Linux. Can any of you make a recommendation?

I prefer Keyspan. They make single-port, and multiple-port units that work perfectly with Linux. 73, Jim

Ditto. I have the single port version (model USA-19HS), and have used it under both Linux and Windows XP (running inside VMWare on said Linux box, as well as natively). Linux kernels were from SuSE/OpenSuSE 10.0 through 11.1. No problems.

Or the CP2101 but that's getting hard to find. FTDI is a more modern (and much better) part.
