Yes! Thats what the "usb
1-5.4: pl2303 converter now attached to
ttyUSB0" is. You said you had the converter so I 'thought' (my bad),

No ttyUSB? yet!
What else could be missing? I remember to have read on the net that
some usb to serial adapter might be at problem. Maybe it's the problem. I'll try to borrow the

Thanks for the help everybody,
