It's the other direction that doesn't work so great: One end of the
USB cable has to have a "smart" host. You can't connect one "dumb"
device to another "dumb" device. The smart host has to have
software drivers and such and a bit of processing power in order to
know how to do the transfer. USB is a complicated protocol.
In general, you need a PDA/laptop/desktop on one end. A USB->Serial
adapter requires a computer at the USB end. The other end can be a
"dumb" device like a TNC or a GPS.
