That was a very good suggestion. After looking over the kernel source I
had thought that module would not work on the T5. Thank you very much.
Now I have the ttyUSB automaticly added in /dev when I turn on the
palm. However in the /etc/udev/udev.rules I have this setting:
BUS="usb", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*",
SYMLINK="pilot"
But in /dev no link was created. I am just learning about udev and
currently reading papers and such about using udev.
Also, I am looking to use the usb sync in mol to sync to my CRM software
without having to reboot to do that. I don't know if I have to tell mol
to use /dev/pilot once that link is created.
