At Macworld next week, Keyspan will introduce the USB 4-Port Serial Adapter, which allows four legacy serial devices to be connected to a single USB port with each port supporting data rates up to 960 Kbps. The $150 device will ship later this month. Keyspan will be exhibiting at booth #3535 in the North Hall.

I can think of four uses:
Palm Cradle
Serial Printer
Lego Mindstorms Infrared Tower
fax modem (some have separate fax and modem lines)
Personally, I'd use the Palm and Lego devises with such an adapter.
Lego Mindstorms Infrared Tower
- dial out tel modem
- serial joystick
- serial inkjet printer
- cell phone interface
- X10 controller

tower...
This is for controlling a Lego robotics interface.
With Lego you can nowbuild any peripheral you need ;-)
Sorry for taking this off on a tangent. I would appreciate it if the person with the Lego Mindstorm kit could email me with information on you're using your software since on a Mac. I thought there wasn't a Mac version of the software, are you running it using VirtualPC?
