This version of the device is available with USB power, 9v battery power, and some other options. There's another version that takes 2xAAA batteries. I chose USB because it's already everywhere that I have a router, and I can easily carry a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack with USB connectivity and built-in charger ($45 at Radio Shack). I'm going to toss this into my existing serial kit bag that has the multitude of gender and null adapters you might need.

Serial is a pain in my rear, but this didn't complicate it. It does a good job, and is reasonably transparent.

Agreed, that would be better.
