GUC232A USB serial adapter and binary data

I am using a IOGear GUC232A USB to serial adapter on a MacBookPro (10.8.3).  Most of the time it works fine.  However, recently, I started trying to capture serial data from a device that communicates using binary data.  I have tried using several different programs to capture the communication to a file like:

- Minicom (installed via mac ports)

- ZTerm

- screen

-  a series of terminal commands

     stty and cat to a file

 

has anyone experienced receiving binary data causing the keyboard and mouse (bluetooth) to stop working?  I assume something happens to the usb and that kills everything.  The machine itself is still running but I have no way of intereacing with it so the only thing I can do is force a power down.
