Not all USB <-> Serial adapters are created equal and some just don't work well.

I have found that adapters that use a Prolific brand chipset tend to work the best. Specifically I have been using a BAFO (brand) BF810 and have found the compatibility with a variety of equipment to be very good.

When that doesn't work, then the Socket brand PC Card I/O adapters will generally work.

I've used both of these with IFI's RC with success.
