       Today I bit the bullet and seriously thinned my checking account, by
    buying a Treo 700p to replace the ol' Kyocera QCP-6035.
    
       I plugged in the USB sync cable and /var/log/messages told me it
    recognized the device on /dev/ttyUSB0 _and_ on /dev/ttyUSB1! Here's the log:
    
    Jun 21 17:02:46 salmo kernel: usb 2-4: new full speed USB device using
    ohci_hcd and address 9
    Jun 21 17:02:46 salmo kernel: usb 2-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    Jun 21 17:02:46 salmo kernel: visor 2-4:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS
    converter detected
    Jun 21 17:02:46 salmo kernel: usb 2-4: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter
    now attached to ttyUSB0
    Jun 21 17:02:46 salmo kernel: usb 2-4: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter
    now attached to ttyUSB1
    
       WTF?? Anyway, on the 2.6.19.2 kernel, there is no ttyUSBn; there are,
    however, /dev/tts/USB0 and /dev/tts/USB1.
    
       My question is how do I set up jpilot so I can run 'restore handheld?'. I
    can make a softlink of /dev/pilot, but to which USBn do I point it?
    
    TIA,
    
    Rich
