Re: Recommendations for a serial port card you can actually BUY?

This is very irritating, as I'd like to use my only serial port for a remote console. Can't you write the EEPROM and then switch to USB? For now, I've gone back to using the serial port. But I'd love the USB to work fully.

They won't benefit from the double trouble of foreign + weird BSD geek speak: Stable isn't Stable ? Yes or No ! It's stable, but it's OK to crash ? - I'll go Linux ! Imagine a boat labelled Stable: It sinks. The designers claim: Tough! We left the Application Interface (routes to bars toilets) stable, but changed other stuff. Hey ! Stable never meant Stable ! This is the perfect explanation. Thank you for putting what I am trying to say in words so well. :-) It'd be some work to eradicate the misnomer, but the name's perhaps less entrenched than one might guess, eg: ftp ftp.freebsd.org cd /pub/FreeBSD dir lrwxr-xr-x 1 ftpuser ftpusers19 Mar 24 14:58 FreeBSD- stable - branches/4.0-stable cd FreeBSD-stable 550 No such directory. -- Julian Stacey.

That wasn't meant to be ironic. Years of experience and observations of development lead to this conclusion. RIght. All i can say, though, is that someone that doesn't know any better would probably not think Oh! That means that upgrades are possible between releases, and not that my system will actually run, or anything! It just seems it'd be quite a cause of confusion.
