Hi there, I wonder, does the FreeBSD USB support include generic tty devices that would look like normal ttys to the userland? I'm working with devices that used to be normal RS-232, but the most recent model uses USB instead. Folks say that everything is the same except for USB being used instead of RS-232, so I guess I need some support in the kernel that would make a USB device look exactly the same as normal RS-232 tty ports. I wonder, does FreeBSD have this and if it does, what's the minimum version I need? I'm running 2.2.8 right now.

These devices are Palm OS connected organizers that use RS-232 for their HotSync protocol. HandSpring is making a new Palm OS device that uses USB instead, and I have been given the task of making it possible to talk to these critters from UNIX as it is possible with normal PalmPilots using pilot-link /dev/cuaa0 or whatever.
