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...

ALREADY INVENTED
