    Larry,
    
    No, the ttyUSB1 in my example is from my computer.  On yours, the second
    port connecting to the visor module is ttyUSB3 and that should have
    worked.  You probably have some other USB device connected to your
    machine because visor in not binding itself to ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1.  If
    that is the case, try removing the other USB device and try the
    experiment again to see if the visor module picks up USB0 and USB1.  If
    that is the case, try J-Pilot with USB1 and see what happens.  BTW, when
    you pressed the HotSync button on step 8 below, did the Treo chime/beep?
    Do you have any data in either J-Pilot of the Treo?
    
    Good luck.
    
    Faisal
