I do know that there is a "standard" for how many USB-to-serial adapters 
work. But in fact I also know that some don't adhere to that.

In fact I only did a research on that for Windows. Here the "standard" 
driver by Microsoft works with many adapters, but it lacks some features 
(e.g. allowing the software to handle DSR/DTR). But e.g. the W&T devices 
come with their own driver that can do this. I don't know whether they 
also can work with the standard driver, if DSR/DTR are not necessary.
