well, _are_ you actually using devfs? i'm going to go out on a limb
and guess that you're not. in that case, you want to point jpilot at
/dev/ttyUSB1, which should look like this:
[08:16:35]{mendel}<~> ls -al /dev/ttyUSB1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 188, 1 Mar 3 09:52 /dev/ttyUSB1
if you don't have /dev/ttyUSB1, you can make it by switching to root
and typing 'mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1'.

So you threw in some random punctuation for no particular reason, and
then you didn't get the result you expected. Hmmmm.
