That should be the other way around. You may have overwritten
/dev/ttyUSB[01] now.
Do
rm -f /dev/ttyUSB[01] /dev/pilot
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 180 0
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 180 1
( cd /dev; ln -s ttyUSB1 pilot; )
Make sure that /dev/ttyUSB1 is mode crw-rw--- and in a group that
you're in.
Things'll probably work then.
Oh, and BTW, please don't send html email to this list -- stick to
plain text.
