It would be helpful if you tried this again and then posted the results of the 
following command: tail /var/log/messages.

My guess is that your new system doesn't use the old visor module to connect, 
and that "usb:", not "/dev/tty1" needs to be specified as the serial port in 
JPilot.

There have been previous posts about this you might want to look at.
