If you are using OS X it would probably be worth looking at <http:// 
www.bkohg.com/serviceusbplus_e.html> as they actually offer a Rev  
external for controlling their breakout box. There are also several  
people on the list who have done stuff with serial port connections.

Personally, I'm waiting for my Lego Mindstorms NXT set to turn up.  
You can communicate with it via Bluetooth, so it may be possible to  
hack up communication via a virtual serial port.
