Need help with USB

[Paul E Condon <pecondon@peakpeak.com>]

I am attempting to get working a USB connection from
my Sarge machine to a Handspring Visor. I have never 
before had USB working on this machine (never tried
before). I am heading for using jpilot. I am using
kernel 2.4.22 i686, recently installed. It seems to
have all the necessary USB stuff, but I'm no expert.

I think I am at the point where I'm ready to try 
hot syncing. So I try. There is no connection established.
But there are no markings on my computer that indicate
which number to use for each of the two USB sockets.
How can I learn what device to soft link to /dev/pilot?
When I try to hot sync by pressing the button on the
pda cradle, I see two lines in syslog:

Jan 18 09:10:54 big kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1, assigned address 8
and after a while (~30s)
Jan 18 09:11:49 big kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:07.2-1 address 8

Does this tell me anything about how I should configure
the soft links in /dev/ ?

TIA
