from tom igoe:

So I'm working with a new serial-to-USB chip, the CP2102 from Silicon Labs
(got a nice adaptor from Sparkfun). On the mac, its drivers show up as a
serial port in any non-rxtx-based application. I can ls /dev/tty.* and
get it, as /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART. It shows up in zTerm. But it doesn't
show up in Processing, Wiring 0005, Arduino 0002, or any Java application
written with rxtx as the drivers. It shows up in all the PC versions of
that application just fine.

But wait, there's more: On another mac, it shows up just fine in all of
them. On my machine, there's another port missing in the rxtx list:
/dev/tty.modem. So here's my question:

Do any of you know of a file somewhere that rxtx caches the serial port
list in? Or any reason why it would list the ports differently from
another application?
