Hmmm ... it just works for me under Linux (Debian/Ubuntu), at least when it
is in the mood to talk.  (It is sometimes a bit fussy at first, but once it
gets going, it stays that way.)

My Prologix is quite old, so it may well have different firmware than yours.

(I use a lot of serial-usb dongles in my lab; they all work well with
Linux.)

Did you/can you verify your dongle works on a Windoze machine?  It is
probably a good idea to rule out a hardware problem.
