[ale] USB - RS232 Question

[jimpop at yahoo.com (Jim Popovitch)]

Check to make sure the usb_serial (or is is usb-serial?) module gets 
loaded.  You should be able to plug the device in and look at the bottom 
of dmesg to see any errors as well as which tty it is attached to.  I've 
used a few USB/Serial dongles and most of them are supported by recent 
Linux distros.
