usb to serial

[Daniel Dalton <daniel.dalton@iinet.net.au>]

I'm a blind debian user and therefore use a braille display.
So I need to connect it somehow.
The display is a piece of hardware that is usually connect with a serial 
cable, but since my new box only has a usb available, no serial I must use 
usb to serial.
So does anyone know of the following:

- a supported usb to serial cable for linux that works with the kernel?
(If so could you please provide a model number or brand?) Or even better 
if you know where I can get one of these from?
Perhaps you could show me an add on ebay?
(I had a look, but don't really understand the info and I am having 
trouble using my computer obviously.)
- If the kernel supports it will a software daemon (brltty) support it?

Thanks for any help,
BTW, sorry if there are basic mistakes in this writing, I only have a 
basic or reasonably good tts package here and no braille...

Cheers,
