I think Robert confirmed that they use FTDI, but with a weird vendor 
code, which makes the vanilla FTDI drivers not identify it without a 
little legwork.

Kerry, to answer your question, I think the *easiest* think would be to 
get the OPC-478U, or the OPC-478 and a mac-friendly USB adapter like the 
Keyspan. I think it's *feasible* to get your RTSystems cable working, 
but it may be more trouble than you're looking for.
