Ok, thanks. Fortunately I hit this post first, and didn't have to
guess.
I went through five machines, adding my userid to the dialout
group for each. I think it did half the job: with my old etrex vista
connected to the serial port, TOPOUS2008 (on one machine, so far) finds
the GPS -- but then fails to transfer anything, in either direction.
That's an improvement over not finding it, to be sure; but I need
one more ...
I did run through the list of groups, looking for other likely
candidates, but failed to spot any. (My userid was already in uucp.)

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
