You need to look at the telosb schematics and figure out how to communicate
on the 10 pin header.

However, the 10 pin header has UART0 and I2C connections.  Unfortunately
all of these pins share USART0
so you will run into the same abritration problem described below.

you should also get a copy of the TI data sheet for the msp430f1611 (the
processor on the telosb) as
well as the user's guide.  In other words do your homework.

UART0 and the Radio (SPI mode on USART0) both share the USART0 hardware.
That is why
they need to arbitrate for the h/w.

This makes doing anything reasonable as far as receiving information via
the UART very problematic
if one is using the Radio too.   It is one of the reasons we abondoned the
telosb/1611 and went to the
5438a processor.
