I think Elecraft are making the correct decision by supplying a Serial<=>USB
converter which is known to work. Being involved with the software side of
the things it's problems with the Serial<=>USB which cause the most grief.
Known hardware doesn't always work - even if it has Elecraft stamped on its
breast. Other factors such as an inadequate USB port come into play, however
this is something which is easy to test and document:

There are many Serial - USB devices on the general market. (I use a
Keyspan unit on my Orion, and it works nicely with Linux.) So, I wonder
why Elecraft needs to offer its own unique product. (Or it could be
someone else's product rebranded?) At least their price is competitive.
I have a keyspan...it looks like it works on windows...sorta, kinda, but
it doesn't.
