I bought a generic one from BestBuy which works with the uplcom  
driver (I just load it from loader.conf).  I have an older one I  
bought there a year ago that also works with the driver, but only  
reliably up to 38400 baud.  That could be due to the system to which  
it is connected, though.  The new one seems safe up to 115200.

They show up as device /dev/cuaU0 in FreeBSD 6+.  They both probe as:
