Hi !
Using /dev/usb/ttyUSB was a misunderstanding of mine. The correct path
for serial usb is /dev/usb/tts/[01] or /dev/ttyUSB[01] for
compatibility. I create MANUALLY /dev/usb/ttyUSB[01] using mknod for
test purposes. Now, everything is ok. I am using /dev/usb/tts/1 and is
working just fine for sync my palm.
Just a complimentary information, the original problem is with coldsync
handling usb connections and passwords set at palm, not with the serial
usb driver itself. The fellows coldsync's developers already have a path
for coldsync.
