    Which distro are you using?  If SuSE 10.# try "lsusb" and "hwinfo --usb"
    If your device is a USB device it may show up in different places.
    /dev/pilot is normally a link to a /dev/file.  On this system it is in 
    /dev/input and controlled by udev.  and when udev finds it lsusb will 
    show it.  However, typically it is known as ttyUSB0 or 1 in /dev/input 
    or just /dev itself.  hwinfo will normally show its path.
    You may also need to check "lsmod" and confirm you have usb and visor 
    modules available.
