Check if usbserial and visor modules are loaded. For Treo you may need to
get the latest pilot-link and compile it yourself. Then after usbserial is
loaded you'll get ttyUSB devices (btw, usually you need ttyUSB1 not 0,
there is a HOWTO on that, Palm opens two channels and USB1 is the one you
want).
