Belkin or Keyspan USB -> RS232

Well I am going to order the Pocket RomUlator monday morning AM, and I was wondering what people would recommend for USB -> RS232 conversion. My laptop has one actual serial port, but I will need another to datalog. I have TTS Datamaster, C. Moates software. When I go to the Xtonics website, and link to the hondata site they suggest the Keyspan adapter, and TTS recommends the Belkin to work with their new BETA software. Are these two unit identical in function?? are all USB -> serial adapters the same in function or all they all different. Oh yeah I will be running Windows XP home edition.

Thanks

There are several versions of the adapter.
I have the Radio Shack version, and it was $40, and it works fine. There are some $10 versions, also, well alledgedly, all I could find out here was the RS version.
