I've just looked through the datasheet for the FTDI chip in question. The Vendor ID and Device ID can be reprogrammed with little effort, so it looks like "Watts Up? inc." shouldn't be getting the default default IDs associated with them. The datasheet can be found here for those who are interested: http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/ICs/DS_FT232R.pdf
