it's very complex ;)
i try select stable, standart (compatible), fast, easy to support
solution

i think trouble is in kernel visor module

AZ>  no, you arent ;) PalmOS 5.0 doesn't support reading the serial number

it's one trouble here
if at one time several palms are connected to computer how get
correspondence usb device with /dev/ttyUSBx device file?
only kernel know about it and i think kernel changes must be done

AZ>  technically it should.

again - afaik hotpulg don't know about ttyUSBx device
