It has a USB interface, and here is the content of /proc/bus/usb/devices :

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=0f03 ProdID=0001 Rev= 0.01
S:  Manufacturer=Ver 1.0
S:  Product=USB To RS232 Interface (V1.0) BaudRate 2400bps
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=01 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=10ms

I think it's similar to the Alpha 1200sx.

Has Unitek been contacted about this unit's protocol specifications ?
I'm a beginner with linux device drivers, but I'll be glad to help in 
anyway I can.
