The vendor and ID were already in there, but the comments showed as a
different version. I'm not sure if that's an issue.

Thanks for the help, it works now with KPilot, but intermittantly.
Sometimes it connects, other times it doesn't. While I could live with
this, I would rather not. It still beats using windows though...

ok - assuming that you have no other USB devices connected...
when at rest (not syncing)
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/pilot
should return nothing - they don't exist
when you press the sync button
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/pilot
should show the devices as configured and KPilot/JPilot should see them
(actually, they are probably configured to only look at /dev/pilot)
if it fails somehow, try running the command (while sync is supposedly
active) to see if they are present.
