I've traded some mail with Joe K and he is set to MFC the ucom series of drivers 'soon'. However, if you want a USB serial port on -stable today, you can do-it-yourself MFC ucom yourself easily. Here's how: 1. MFC usbdevs. Look at the top of the file to get the series of necessary steps. 2. MFC ucom*, uplcom.c and uvscom.c. Edit each one and #if 0 out the include of . It is not necessary on -stable. 3. Do one of these two branches: A. i. edit /sys/conf/files. add these lines: ucom.c optional ucom uplcom.c optional ucom uplcom uvscom.c optional ucom uvscom ii. add to /sys/i386/conf/your_kernel_config_file: device ucom device uplcom device uvscom iii. build your new kernel, install it and reboot. B. i. cd /sys/modules ; mkdir ucom uplcom uvscom ii. copy ums/Makefile to ucom, uplcom and uvscom. iii. edit ucom/Makefile, change every occurance of ums to ucom. Do the same to uplcom and uvscom, changing ums to uplcom or uvscom as required. iv. in each new directory, make clean all install. You should now have /modules/ucom.ko, /modules/uplcom.ko, and /modules/uvscom.ko. v. kldload ucom.ko; kldload uplcom.ko; kldload uvscom.ko. 4. Plug in a supported USB serial adapter (I recommend the IOGear GUC232A). 5. mknod /dev/cuaU0 c 138 128 ; chown uucp:dialer /dev/cuaU0 ; chmod 660 /dev/cuaU0 6. Go nuts. Joe tells me he is working on uvisor, a ucom sub-driver to support the Handspring Visor hotsync cradle and the whole kit and kaboodle will be MFCed when that's done. > > >>>It depends on your phone, if it behave like modem - you will have no >>>problems. >> >>Hmm ...

The only thing that sucks is that the combination of cables required is cumbersome to carry around.
