[arch-general] Serial To USB Adapter

[Snarkout]

My experience has been that minicom is the best emulator for interfacing 
with serial devices.  I have tried as many as I could get my hands on, 
too, FWIW ($DAYJOB = noc monkey).  IME, If you ever have a large config 
you need to drop on a device (or even not-so-large) most others fail in 
various ways.  5 AM at the collo with a dead core router is a lousy time 
to find out that your *com of choice requires dropping 20 lines at a 
time or it starts barfing, and you have a 2000 line config that needs 
dropping.  JME - others may disagree.
