Hoping someone can offer some advice...

I'll be needing to get a RS232 to USB converter. I've been doing some searching on the forums and I've read suggestions that this may be troublesome on Vista. However I haven't come across any any specific recommendations yet.

Can anyone recommend a converter that's 100% reliable on Vista?
