This sounds to me like a driver issue, I have used generic USB to
serial converters, however in the 'raw' mode they still need to be
connected as a USB device, what you need is a driver that will
enumerate (I think that is the right term) a serial port (so you have
a virtual COM-1 that is mapped to your converter) as most serial
programs expect to see a named com port.
If the program you are using has a USB option then that may well see
the device through the converter, I have done this with USB GPS
programs to connect to a serial GPS unit.
