I have used a MacPro and a TS-2000 with Keyspan serial adapters.

We use the TS-2000 on the satellite gateway and is normally  
controlled by MacDoppler...

It works fine - just remember to load the latest Keyspan Universal  
driver (v2.3)...

I haven't tried the #USA-49W but the 19 and the 28's work great.

I have noticed on the Mac Pro that the Keyspan's may be finicky about  
which usb port or hub you plug them into but if they show up in the  
Keyspan Serial Assistant they will work with MLDX.

Let me know if you run into any problems with it.
