dmesg shows 
usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Generic
usb.c: registered new driver serial
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Handspring Visor
but I see no device being bound to /dev/ttyUSB at boot time ? However if I 
ls -al /dev/pilot I get  
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 20 20:47 /dev/pilot -> /dev/ttyUSB1

I created /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 and linked them both in turn to
/dev/pilot without changing which USB hardware port I had plugged into but
in both cases I got the same result.
