We did not get into the TTL to serial devices, however the link for the USB one from ADAfruit is:
You can also get the converter as a small board that goes to a serial port for those looking for a serial port solution. I picked up a few from ebay.
We also has a discussion on CNC CAM and how one would go about doing it with BSD vs. the existing tools for Linux. This doesn’t seem to be a hot topic in the BSD world, but then again, last night was the first time anyone brought it up in my presence and I have not looked into it yet.
Also, as a fun item, we have a SVG image available mocking devices that do not support IPv6
