Apple USB to Serial

Several weeks ago I had to replace my USB-to-Serial adaptor.  After much research, Facebook posting/discussion I bought a Ugreen USB adaptor from Amazon.  After a few times, I started having issues.  I figured, like most network engineers it was software.  Long story short it was a hardware failure and a replacement one fixed it.

However, in my searching I came across a little gem simply called Serial from Decisive tactics.   What sold me on it was the ability to do profiles.  Many times I am connecting to Cisco and the old way is the terminal emulator defaults to something that is not 9600. So I have to go into preferences, change it, apply a few times and I am good. Lots of wasted clicks.  With Serial I can select my profile and off I go.
