[ale] USB and PilotMgr?

[Geoffrey]

Don't know if this will help, but from the Modem-HOWTO:

9.3 USB (Universal Serial Bus) Ports

The serial ports on the USB are: /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, etc. The 
devfs names for these are: /dev/usb/tts/0, /dev/usb/tts/1, etc. For many 
modems they are /dev/usb/acm/0, etc. (in devfs notation). For more info 
see the usb subdirectory in the kernel documentation directory for 
files: acm and usb-serial.
