This list rocks!  Thanks, man.

There is a 'PTC Premium USB to Serial Converter for DB9 and DB25, Model:
USBA-S109' on Directron - is this the same you have?  It doesn't say anything about the chip used.

Is it possible to just run it through my parallel port?  I'm not using that for anything, and it seems simpler.
