thank god for this invention!
I bought four of these to manage my switches from my Mac Mini:

What’s great (and fairly rare, in my experience) is that they maintain driver code for all Windows platforms, Linux, *and* OS X.
These guys are also into the Bluetooth thing, but I couldn’t justify the cost for my lab:

Compare to the USB-Serial price:

LOL Joe, click on the “Ordering” link:
“Sorry, we are no longer selling new Blueconsole Units.”
I’ve looked at similar products in the past. Generally speaking, USB-Serial (one is _always_ in my computer bag) is (was, anyway) a fraction of the cost of the Bluetooth doohickeys. I don’t think there are many laptops going into production with serial ports at this point, unfortunately…
