you might also be able to use 'dmesg' and/or look at the results of
'/sbin/lsusb'

On my old iBook I connected to my D700 through the USB port using /dev/

anyone know what I should be using or how to determine it. I'm still
using the same Keyspan USB to serial converter that I did before so
I'm pretty sure the number is correct.
When I try to connect, nothing happens, it doesn't blink, fail, start,
nothing. So I'm guessing it's the device. I looked in the system
profiler and the Mac can see the Keyspan device so that part of the
connection is OK, but it doesn't tell me the port its on or more
likely, I don't know how to read it. Any help would be appreciated.
What I do on Linux to find out a device name is do "tail -f
/var/log/messages" and then plug in the device and see what shows
up.
With my USB joystick I had to do some more stuff before I could use
it with BZFlag, but the above method told me which port it was on.
