How to access a USB serial port under Linux (Centos 5) running under Mavericks

Hi,

I have Linux (Centos 5) running in a VM on a Macbook Pro retina 15 inch running Mavericks.

I have an FPGA development board attached to a USB port.

The device is supposed to mimic a serial port device on the USB port.

The device shows up in the VMware Fusion config interface as: "Future Devices FT232R USB UART".

My question is what device I should use under Linux (Centos 5).

And how I should access the device.

I hope to see a login prompt on the serial port from the attached device.

I don't want to provide a login prompt  for the local Linux OS on the line.

Martin
