I have a USB serial port adapter that's sold by Palm Computing.  I've use it 
with my Pilot and cell phone/modem under win2k.  Trying to set up a Linux 
laptop system that only has USB ports, no serial ports, no IR.  I'd like to 
be able to sync my Palm and use my cell phome/modem via this serial adapter.  
When I plug it into the system it reports two devices, one that appears to be 
a Texas Instruments hub - vendor=451, product=2036 - and one that appears to 
be the Palm serial port - vendor=0x830, product=0x80 .  I've tried forcing 
the usbserial.o generic driver to pick up the serial port by doing "insmod 
usbserial.o vendor=0x830 product=0x80" and that seems to work, it says that 
it connects the device to /dev/ttyUSB0.  But when I try to actually use the 
serial port via that device nothing happens.  I have no idea how to deal with 
the hub that seems to be part of this adapter or even if that's important.

If anyone is using this adapter with Linux and can offer me any hints I sure 
would appreciate it.  I'm using the RedHat 7.1 distribution with the 2.4.2-2 
kernel.

Thanks,
Dave
