minicom on TiBook (entrega adapter)

[Mark T. Valites]

Sorry I can't help with the existing problem, but you reminded me a need
to get serial going on my TiBook...

I have a USB to serial converter sitting made by entrega.  It's even still
in the box.  Yesterday one of the switches here at work blew out & I had
to grab a PC laptop just for the serial port.  As you can imagine, it
weighs a little more than my TiBook, and doesn't have linux installed.
Will this entrega converter work?  Are there docs anywhere?  Do I need a
quick kernel compile to make it go?
