I had issues on my Mac too, but there’s a chipset that’s well supported called the UC232A. ATEN (not be confused with A10, which I was doing for a while) is the one to get.

<div>There’s also a fancy 4 port hub version I just found: <a href="http://www.aten.com/products/Mobility-&-USB/USB-Converters/4-Port-USB-to-Serial-RS-232-Hub~UC2324.html" target="_blank">http://www.aten.com/products/Mobility-&-USB/USB-Converters/4-Port-USB-to-Serial-RS-232-Hub~UC2324.html</a><br>

<div>GetConsole would be sweet though, depends on price point I guess.</div>

<div>The GetConsole Airconsole looks freaking sweet though, supports Bluetooth LE and WiFi.</div>

<div>Is it just me, or do network engineers appear to have a bias toward OS X? (I know I do :)).<br>
