+This serial driver currently only works with the Belkin and Peracom USB 
+Serial devices. It should also work for the Etek converter, but I do 
+not know the vendor id, and device id of that device (if anyone does, 
+please let me know.)
+
+The driver can handle enumerating the device, and sending and receiving
+data from the converter. However, since I do not have a spec for this
+device, and the raw dumps from the Win98 driver are confusing, no control
+signals are handled, and the data will most likely come through on a baud
+rate that you are not expecting.
+
+But I am working on figuring the control settings out. This release is to
+let others try it out, and give some feedback.
+
+The major number that the driver uses is 240 (in the local/experimental
+range.) It will stay there until some agreements are reached on how to
+handle the configuration problem that USB provides.
+
+To use the driver, create the following nodes:
+mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 240 0
+mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 240 1
+mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 240 2
+mknod /dev/ttyUSB3 c 240 3
+
+then plug in a device and use your friendly terminal program to see what
+happens.
+
+If anyone has any problems getting the device to enumerate, or data to 
+flow through it, please contact me.
