• Do not buy this for a Mac OSX computer
  Do not buy this for your Mac OSX computer.

  After returning this device and purchasing a Keyspan one, I am happily using my Keyspan USA19HS.

• Don't put more than one IOGEAR GUC232A on a system

  I have also read that it works for OS X to do Cisco work. So happy it works. I wish laptops still had Serial Ports installed on... more info

• Works with Modems
  This adapter is is the US version of the ATEN adapter, UC232A. Same adapter just a different label. I have used this adapter to connect to modems on Windows, 2000, XP, and Vista computers. It is the only VISTA compatible adapter that actually works on VISTA (that I have tested). Unfortunately the VISTA driver does not come on the CD. You will need to download the driver from IO Gear's website.
  The adapter also has OS X drivers but it DOES NOT function on OS X with modems. It will not work. Best to use... more info
