How do I set up starry night with MacBook pro on the USB port with a serial/USB adapter?

How do I set up a MacBook Pro running Lion to interface with Starry Night software? My telescope is a Meade LX200GPS with a serial input. I have tried using a Radio Shack USB/Serial adapter which worked when I used a Windows 7 laptop but does not work with my MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Just started to research this on both this site and on Starry Night .I was hoping to find a driver for the Radio Shack USB Serial Adapter from Apple's site. Radio Shack only has the Windows driver that came with the adapter. Will let you know when I find the right driver. Stay tuned.
