I do know the FTDI breakout board mentioned in my post creates a virtual serial device on your computer, so the software end should be no different than if you were to use a USB line. RS232 is not the same as UART, however, which is how OpenLog talks (different signal voltage levels) so I'm not sure if a direct RS232OpenLog connection would work. I would either ask on the <a href="http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewforum.php?f=8" rel="nofollow">SparkFun forums</a>, message <a href="http://github.com/nseidle" rel="nofollow">Nate</a> (the creator) on GitHub, or post in the comments section on SparkFun's <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9530#comments" rel="nofollow">OpenLog product page</a>.
