DIP USB to serial converter chip?

I'm looking for a through-hole chip that will convert USB to serial, like the one on the Arduino, but there's only SSOP and QFN packages for that. Does anyone know of any/are there any? I've seen breakout boards, but they're $20 a piece, and that's a bit too steep for my liking. Thanks

The only thing I havee found are DIP modules with the FTDI SMD ICs on them. THey run about around don't really get lower than $20 and most seem to be in the $30 range.

Yeah, at a price like that, it'd be cheaper to just replace the USB port on a project with a serial one and grab one of these:

Thanks for the link, though

you can use AVR CDC AVR-CDC
If you want build it by yourself

There is also the pic 18f2550 which can use the Microchip USB stack. All you need is a 24 MHz crystal and supporting capacitors.

Low cost adaptors

I did find Sockets - SMD Adapters that does very cheap (<$1) adaptors for smd devices if that helps.
