I use them, but the ones I have are "hard wired", i.e. the cable goes
straight into the card and does not detach.

I love the ones I have - they look like a 16550 to most software and
aside from using an odd clock freq (higher than the stock pc freq) they
work well.  Much better than usb serial dongles.

I never leave home w/o one as some of my laptops don't have serial ports
(and in the embedded world most every console is a serial port :-)
