#168090 - Not convinced that HW is the (only) issue
Responding to: ???'s previous message

If it could be done by brand rather than "open it up and see if there is a FTDI chip in it" that would, of course be preferable.

Yes: I very much suspect that it's not just the chip but also the implementation - especially the drivers - that can make a big difference.

Also, it's often not the USB-to-Serial that's to blame; it's the fault of poor application software that is making unwarranted assumptions about the device - such as trying to directly access hardware registers and/or bit-bang timing on the modem-control lines...
