====== Using Serial Port on Virtual Box  (Yes it works!)======

  - First get a Trendnet [[http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=150_TU-S9|TU-S9]]
  - Connect it to your Ubuntu host computer
  - a new device node /dev/ttyUSB[0-9] should be created
  - run "chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0" to give everyone access to the serial port
  - in Virtual Box go to VM Settings -> Serial Ports.  Then **enable** serial port 1, Port Number: **COM4**, Port mode: **Host Device**, Port/File Path: **/dev/ttyUSB0**{{:virt:vbox_serial.png?direct&100 |}}
