[Gumstix-users] problems connecting to basix-->breakout-gs (noob)

[artec <art...@ya...>]

  Hello,

   I am having trouble connecting to my gumstix.  I followed the directions
for bluetooth,  http://docwiki.gumstix.org/index.php/LinuxBluetooth
http://docwiki.gumstix.org/index.php/LinuxBluetooth  and got that to work. 
Then I tried to create a bluetooth PAN, and now I can no longer see the
gumstix via bluetooth.  
   Next I tried connecting with the USB on the breakout-gs.  I could not get
this to work.  
   From what I have gathered, a serial connection is my last resort, and is
generally the preferred connection anyway.  My computer does not have
serial, so I would have to use USB-serial adapter.  One post recommended
this:

believe this would be connected to the FFUART on the breakout-gs, correct?
(and swap the Rx and Tx)?  Am I understanding everything correctly?  Is this
adapter my best option?  My host machine is XP running Ubuntu 8 with Vmware. 
I have a basix-bt and a breakout-gs.

Thanks for the help
