I get no change in that folder after the phone is plugged in and
settled. This is what I have as output from "ls /proc/sys/dev/": 
"cdrom  parport  raid  rtc"

Sorry, not so for me :-(

As you know this is a heavily populated directory, many possibles I can
rule out easily but some I have no idea about :-(

Thanks, that was done. I always use a generic address of /media/usb for
devices plugged in to usb :-) ( FYI: I find that rpm distros such as
redhat, suse, fedora, etc seem long ago to have adopted /media as the
mount point for removable media, not /mnt as you may be used to)

More "guesses" welcome from any and all :-)

BTW: I just discovered of this new phone that it automatically charges
off the usb port. geeee, ahhh :-) Maybe old hat for you people but this
is first new phone I've bought in _8_ years. LOL. I gave up on the
expense of getting a Treo or similar smartphone (see previous
postings).
