I've tried pl2303 and got the following:

 drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for pl2303
 pl2303 4-2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
 usb 4-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
 usbcore: registered new driver pl2303
 drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver

statserial is now returning the line settings and when I fire up kermit
it's not complaining about not being able to send characters.  I'm still
not able to get anything out of the device on the far end.  This may well
be down to other causes however.

I'll have somebody connect the cable (It's 500 miles away) to something
that I know works and let you know if I get a result.

Tried that, but the connector is moulded on, and my the time I got through
that I'd removed any markings that may have been on the chip.
