I use it with my Ubuntu laptop too.  It works very well and has so
for a great many years.

Now, for JF's satisfaction, I setup a port on the DECserver-90M for 
autobaud login.  I thenplugged in the KeySpan adapter and issued:

$ cu -l /dev/KeySpan -s 600

I was able to log into the DECserver-90M and a show port confirmed:

Character Size:            8           Input Speed:                600
Flow Control:            XON           Output Speed:               600
Parity:                 None           Signal Control:        Disabled
Stop Bits:           Dynamic                           

It was fun to watch as the characters were slowly displayed on the 
screen too.  It was like watching WOPR's report of projected kill 
statistics. :)
