Oops... Didn't have CONFIG_USB_ACM in the running kernel
Found one critical bit of info after I sent the previous message...

Obviously, what I'm missing is that CONFIG_USB_ACM is not defined
in the current woody custom kernel. However, it is defined in the
sarge/thinkpad kernel (2.6.8) but the phone is not recognized there
at all. All that happens is a long delay after running lsusb and
then nothing at all is displayed. I'll have to keep working at this.
