Usually, the adapters work fine. Two instances where they _may_ not: 1. Devices that are powered from "unused" serial lines. 2. Applications that perform direct twiddling of serial lines, instead of using host OS functions.

At the moment, I'm thinking in the context of an NTP server, but am interested in a general context should I need to move to USB-only PCs. Didn't know if there were any latency issues or anything.
