On Linux, udev usually chooses the device name. On OS X, the driver
tells the OS what name it wants.

FTDI usually shows up as /dev/cu.usbserial-xxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxx is
either the device's serial number or, for unserialized devices, a
location string that depends on which USB port your device is
connected to.

The Prolific PL2303 driver enumerates devices at /dev/cu.usbserial.

I think /dev/cu.PL2303-XXXXXXXX is associated with the open source
PL2303 project.
