I just made some fixes to MultiMode OSX (version 4.2.2) that should 
take care of that. You'll need to specify in the preferences that 
MultiMode should check for available serial ports now when it starts 
up. I verified that it now works with both the dual and high speed 
keyspan adapters. I found that I did have to re-install the drivers 
for the keyspan units after installing Panther, btw.
