Thanks Axel for the response!

As mentioned, I was able to at least get the host computer talking to the 
wibohost via a /dev/ttyUSBx port created by the 2560, and can send individual 
commands to wibohost through that.

I pointed the wibohost.py python script to that same port and it seems to just 
hang--could be that it doesn't work well with the 2560 intermediating, or it 
could just be operator error. :)

I'll give it some more work this week, there's probably something simple I'm 
doing incorrectly.  Also, I think I'll pick up that Sparkfun FT232 driver, that 
could be very helpful.

Many thanks-
Eric
