I am using a Digitus USB to Rs 232 converter to connect to my Pactor Modem.
Somehow I can't get that working. I do have drivers for Linux, but there seems to be no facility to install them.
Any ideas?

The drivers need to compiled.

I found the drivers shipped with the Windows drivers are incomplete. I used the Linux driver archive from Digitus:

http://ftp.assmann.com/pub/DA-/DA-70146-1___4016032265399/DA-70146-1_driver_linux-1.0.0_20101202.tar.gz

Unpack the archive in Downloads; open a terminal:

Change to the working directory

Code:

cd Downloads/libftd2xx1.0.0/libusb-1.0.8

Configure the build

Code:

./configure

Make the build

Code:

make

Install...

Code:

sudo make install

See if that does the trick.
