I think that everybody who has a USB controller/hub and who uses udev
has these "USB endpoint" device nodes. Their number increases with every
new device that you plug into your USB ports.

AFAIK, you normally do not have much contact with them as a normal user.
You can find out to which device they belong by using udevinfo like
this:
udevinfo -a -n /dev/usbdev1.1_ep00
The "useful" device node is normally somewhere else, based on the type
of the device and its function: /dev/bus/usb/ is sort of a generic
place; an external SATA hard drive will be /dev/sb? (as Marko has
already pointed out) and have symlinks in /dev/disk/; a USB mouse will
have its node(s) in /dev/input/; ...
Now, coming back to your problem: Since your example configuration file
mentions /dev/ttyS0 it would seem that kannel wants to talk to the phone
like to a serial modem. Therefore you will probably have to use
something like /dev/ttyUSB0 for a USB-connected mobile. If you cannot
find such a device node after plugging in the phone then it may be
necessary to do "modprobe usb_serial" as root. If that does not help
then you might have to load an additional kernel module specific to your
type of cell phone. (Please note that I have never used kannel,
therefore I can only offer speculation based on what I know about USB
devices and udev in general.)

Thanks for the great reply. I think you put me closer ---but I am not really there yet. To recap:
1. the usbdev1.1_ep00 are basically useless.
2. I have to load something else in order to get a usefull /dev/tty* to refer to.
Do you know what that driver or module that I need to load for Cingular 8125 ?
I have loaded usbserial...but nothing happened...or at least i do not know if anything happened..nothing was referenced that was usefull. Do you know where I can check?
Does anyone know a Cellphone from ATT that can work with debian...so I can use it with a sms text messeging program ???
I guess the phone would have to have a usb cable...Does anyone know of one please????????????please???????
thanks
