I am sure it's not your USB adapter, but I think you use the wrong 
port. From: http://www.lanbox.com/support/Talk-Archive/msg-01913.html

For serial ports you can use the USB modem name instead of the IP + port:
do shell script "perl ~/Desktop/cmdwrite.pl usbmodem18111 '*00050000#'"

To get a list of serial ports:
do shell script "ls /dev/cu.*"


For the Keyspan you get something like below (I have a 4 port serial 
adapter, and a LCX):
fokko@pa0dtl ~$ ls /dev/cu.*
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem         /dev/cu.USA49W4b21P3.3
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync      /dev/cu.USA49W4b21P4.4
/dev/cu.T610                    /dev/cu.modem
/dev/cu.USA49W4b21P1.1          /dev/cu.usbmodem4B251
/dev/cu.USA49W4b21P2.2


So for RS232 port 1 I need to use USA49W4b21P1.1


Also be sure you use the latest perl script, see 
http://www.lanbox.com/support/Talk-Archive/msg-01934.html  This 
easier to use with normal decimal numbers :-)

I hope this helps,
