ah, if there's a USB->serial converter involved then you probably
need a driver for it...as I said, uninformed opinion...based on
using UNIX serial ports from 1980-90...

Yes, I'm interested in knowing what Linux needs to have running to get
the /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 entries show up when you plug in the
MIB520.
Once that works I understand how to use it.

It should be a simple serial device attached to a raw tty port,
no special drivers are required. Rather than using COMx you probably
want to use something like /dev/ttySx or whatever the format of your
port names is.
The example you give IS for programming however. For comm using
something like Listen or SerialForwarder you set an env var
something like: MOTECOM=serial@/dev/ttyS1:mica2
YMMV based on port and platform names of course...

Can someone explain how to use a MIB520 with linux? I am unclear how
the device shows up or how to install a driver for it or if it needs
one. I just need it for standard communication, not for programming.
I am running Fedora Core 4.
