Yes.  You should be able to use your PLM on the USB serial port.  You
didn't mention your Linux distribution and version but since modern
systems use udev, you should see a new device node, /dev/ttyUSB0 when you
plug in the first USB serial device (or on boot).  Just check with ls
if it's there.

If the device node is there, just use /dev/ttyUSB0 in place of
/dev/ttyS0 or /dev/insteon in your mh.private.ini file (or arrange for
udev to create the appropriate symbolic link).
