Yes, I mentioned early in this thread that I had success (except for the 32 second thing which has been partially fixed) with USB RS232 adapters. I have three different adapters and they all work with the N900 providing the power via HEN. But I had to build my own kernel modules. I don't plan to distribute it or explain how to build and install kernel modules, but here is a kernel configuration change, in case you happen to know what to do with it. Perhaps one of the alternate kernels will pick up support for this...
