I did end up getting it working using the belkinunv driver.  I must
have had something tweaked wrong when I first tried it.  I think
partially I was expecting the driver to say "Detected Belkin F6C..."
but it didn't.  This gave me the impression it wasn't working (from
the examples in the docs).

It has both, but I am using the serial connection.

If you so desire, you can add this model as a confirmed model to work
with the project.
