my experience is very mixed.
USB->serial seems no problem at "normal" 9600 but had serve problems with
more unusual settings. The quality of the circuits vary very much. They may
run for days and fail suddenly to be ok again after a reset.
The next thing is that companies tend to change the chipsets inside without
notice. I remember one occasion where an older device was working fine
while the latest production failed completely.
I was very disappointed since you have no real change to debug WHAT causes
the problem. Now i try to avoid USB->Serial so far as possible.
