[plug] USB palm pilot

[Chris Caston]

After noticing another mistake in that insmod string I now get the following in /var/log/messages:

May  4 00:50:01 debian kernel: usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)

but still coldsync -p /dev/usbTTY0 just says 

no device: sleeping

thanks again,
