Subject:	Q: how to access USB device- Handspring Visor cradle

I have downloaded pilot-link 0.11.7 and built it on cygwin.  Now I'm
trying to figure out how to access the usb cradle.  Most of the pilot
commands take a '-p <port>' parameter.  I've tried various devices,
first, the default device /dev/pilot:

   ==> ./pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -b ttt

     ERROR: No such file or directory (2)

     The device /dev/pilot does not exist..
     Possible solution:

          mknod /dev/pilot c <major> <minor>

     Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot
     Please use --help for more information

   ==>

Another attempt:

   ==> ./pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyS0 -b ttt

      Listening to port: /dev/ttyS0

      Please press the HotSync button now... 


just waited and waited.  I pressed HotSync, and the Visor eventually
timed out.  I had to kill the bash process.  '/dev/com1' behaved the
same as '/dev/ttyS0'.  Most other attempts I made, from various hints
when I searched this archive, linux help (I know they're different; I
was just after hints), and the web via Google failed just like
'/dev/pilot'.  Some of these were

   /dev/com2
   /dev/ttyS1
   /dev/usb/ttyUSB0
   /dev/ttyUSB0
   /dev/usb/ttys/0
   /dev/ttys/0

Of course, I've assumed what I'm attempting is possible, but that I
just don't know how to address the device.  Can anyone help, please?

BTW- some cygwin and Google searches that did not give me an answer
(or where I overlooked an answer):
    usb device in cygwin
    usb port in cygwin
    usb
    cygwin device
    cygwin mount usb device

Thanks.
