[Elecraft] USB to Serial on MacOS

[Tox]

This.

I have spent enough time fightingg "prolific" cables that proved to have
fake chips that it is far cheaper to just buy the keyspan unit, install the
ftdi driver, and have it Just Work (modulo variability in Port naming).

Chuck the prolifics, get a genuine ftdi (the keyspan unit is a great
choice). Save the grief.
