Hi,
	Not sure if the keyspan is suported or not.  But if it is
recognized, it should show up via 
usbdevs 

e.g.
% usbdevs 
addr 1: OHCI root hub, ATI
addr 1: OHCI root hub, ATI
 addr 2: USB FAST SERIAL ADAPTER, FTDI
addr 1: EHCI root hub, ATI


Take a look at the man pages for ucom and the various drivers that
support it.
