Hi Barry,
I've got one of these http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=29968&doy=12m9D which works perfectly with Linux. You'll need to compile the Prolific 2303 driver as a module. It's part of the standard kernel source. The module is called pl2303 Most of the cheap USB->Serial adapters use this chip. It'll appear as device /dev/tts/USB0 (assuming you're using a 2.6 kernel).
Thanks Chris. That's just the sort of information I need. Very helpful.
