Slightly OT - USB serial controllers that work in Linux?

Any of you guys got a recommendation as to what USB-serial adapter works = best in Linux? I have a KeySpan 19HS which works quite well with Linux. I also have an EdgePort/416 which works with both Linux and OpenVMS!

Phase V specs

by Paul_Koning＠Dell.com

"ps2pdf" was suggested -- it works. So the answer is that some of them can be converted with Distiller (which seems to be the best answer when it works) and the rest with ps2pdf. See below for the details. paul On Sep 9, 2013, at 3:48 PM, Paul Koning <Paul_Koning at dell.com> wrote: Thanks for the suggestion. The answer is yes, that works fine. Adobe Distiller handled these: entity_model_v1.0.0.pdf ethernet-registry-internal.pdf event_v1.0.0_cover.pdf lan_node_external_v2.0.2.pdf lan_node_v2.0.2.pdf mop-registry-internal.pdf mop_v4.0.0.pdf ncl_v1.0.0.pdf netman_v5.0.0.pdf time_v1.0.0.pdf trn_dlspec_v100.pdf I just tried uid_v1.0.0.ps with ps2pdf and that produces good output. I then tried the remaining ones, and from a quick look I'd say they are all good. paul

Phase V specs

by mcguire＠neurotica.com

Can you send me the filename of one that doesn't convert properly? -Dave On 09/09/2013 03:23 PM, Paul_Koning at Dell.com wrote: I have a copy. I'll forward this to Al. BTW, I spoke too soon when I said they convert fine to PDF. About half do. The other half produce blank pages. The reason appears to be that Distiller can't cope with LaTeX output that uses bitmap fonts, which a number of those specs use. paul On Sep 9, 2013, at 3:15 PM, Jarratt RMA <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com<mailto:robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com>> wrote: That is really interesting, I will download the lot when I get home at the end of the week. Have you got a copy in case it disappears before then? Have you sent a link to Al Kossow at bitsavers?

The cover listed the order number for that document (which looked nothing like what I remembered). Google found a few hits for that string. One of the hits is an FTP server: ftp://avaloni.iks-jena.de/mitarb/lutz/standards/DEC/ -- which appears to have the whole set, in PostScript form. Adobe Acrobat Distiller readily converts those to PDF. paul -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
