IF... the device shows up as /dev/USBtty* when its plugged in you mighyt
have a chance. Hint: run "tail -f /var/log/messages" in a console window
before you plug it into the USB port and watch what scrolls up. If no
USBtty0 device appears then you've got no chance.

If a USBtty0 device appears, you might be lucky. I have a pair of
Win95/98 programs that download data from a serial device. They work
well on mobo serial ports or a multiport serial PCI card but can't see
my pfranc USB serial adapter, which works well with native Linux
programs. Some adapters apparently work with Wine but others don't.
