Connectivity to cellphone using usbserial module

[aroy_802701]

Hi,

 

I have a samsung X105 cell whose data (phone book etc) I need to back up. I bought a usb cable for the cell phone. My PC has a Mandrake 10.0/ Winxp dual boot. I successfully loaded the driver in winxp and used datapilot tp access data there (so no hardware problems). In Linux, when I connect the cable to a usb port, output of "/var/log/messages" yields:

 

===========================

Sep 10 18:53:21 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address 2

Sep 10 18:53:22 localhost kernel: drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver v0.10

===============================

 

 

Output of "lsmod" shows modules "usbserial" and "PL2303" loaded, so I should be able to access the cellphone data at /dev/ttyUSB0.

 

However, all software I've tried ("kpilot, kandy, bitpim") either hangs or shows errors whenever I try to configure them to "/dev/ttyUSB0". I even tried "ln -s /dev/pilot /dev/ttyUSB0" with no success.

 

Do I need to do anything else or what? Please advise

Look for a /dev/usb/tty/0 :)

Not there. /dev/USB0 is a symlinkg to /dev/usb/tts/0.

 

Same problems if I enter that in confs
