This is actually a very poor interface and not recommended. See http://forum.velleman.be/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2018&hilit=vm116. Due to the pic only processing 8 bytes of information at a time, the frame rates for a full non-0 universe of dmx data is around 1.6 per second.
There is now a much better work in development. Please see http://k8062forlinux.sourceforge.net/doc.php. There's a daemon-like program that works as a driver. There's still more work to be done on it, and some tweaking seems necessary in places in the code, but it's well documented and has worked very well for me.
