USB Serial Adapter for EMS

I have a Macbook (running Windows on it too) and bought a Keyspan USB serial adapter which turned out to be completely useless. Anybody have any recommendations for one that worked for you?

Thanks.

I'm running a cheap Radio Shack one and haven't had any problems. My friend uses a Belkin and it seems to work ok too.

I was having a problem w/ mine also. Come to find out it wasn't working because one of my drivers were bad.

I'm using a Belkin but that is on my PC laptop that only has USB.

Haven't tried on my Mac. Are you using Boot Camp or Parallels?

Boot Camp. I use the Mac OS for everyday things and boot in Windows only when I need to work on the car. However, without a good USB adapter I can't even do that!
