While I got my DS9097 and DS2490 from hobby-boards, I don't think my
findings are specific to their design but more specific to the chip.

I have pretty long network in my house, using cat-5 cable and after what I
reported earlier, I tried my USB DS2490 to run my bus (that goes through a
hub, also from hobby-boards).

Well, while I found that the DS9097 plugged into a keyspan USB/serial
adapter was having glitches when apparently interrupts were delayed when my
server was busy with high speed disk to disk copies, I found out that the 
DS2490, contrary to what I expected, is actually worse.

The DS2490, when my server is not busy, was routinely causing owfs to miss
some devices on my full bus polls every minute. I tried it over a week and I
would get 10-20 errors per day.
I then put the DS9097 back via the keyspan adapter, and while I don't
understand why it would be more reliable, especially with always uncertain
voltage from a usb-serial adapter, my bus is 100% stable again: no more
daily poll errors.

I can't quite explain why, but I thought I'd report it.
