title: Can I use a USB-to-serial adapter to talk to my development board from VMWare Fusion?
body: <p>I have a Linux virtual machine running on VMWare Fusion (on Mac OS X) that I intend to use as a development environment for an embedded system.  Would it be possible for my Linux VM to talk to my embedded system's serial port using a USB-to-serial adapter?  Any recommendations for what sort of adapter I should get?</p>
