Thanks for the great reply. I think you put me closer ---but I am not really there yet. To recap: 1. the usbdev1.1_ep00 are basically useless. 2. I have to load something else in order to get a usefull /dev/tty* to refer to. Do you know what that driver or module that I need to load for Cingular 8125 ? I have loaded usbserial...but nothing happened...or at least i do not know if anything happened..nothing was referenced that was usefull. Do you know where I can check? Does anyone know a Cellphone from ATT that can work with debian...so I can use it with a sms text messeging program ??? I guess the phone would have to have a usb cable...Does anyone know of one please????????????please??????? thanks mjh
