Hi,
  My USB-to-RS232 cable came in the post today - it's a Manhattan Computer
Products 205146 "USB to Serial Converter". Drivers are built into Linux
Kernel 2.4.22 ("modprobe pl2303") and the cable itself is picked up by Linux.
The catch (there's always one) is that Xwisp seems to be incapable of driving
a USB-to-RS232 converter.
  Does anyone happen to know what the magic incantation to get xwisp to use a
USB serial converter cable (/dev/ttyUSB<n>) on Linux is? I've tried
"xwisp.py PORT /dev/ttyUSB0", but that only produced a runtime error.

Thanks.
