Doesn’t that mean I should have /dev/ttyUSB1 already? I don’t.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>OS X creates it dynamically for USB serial devices when needed. This means it generally only exists during a sync, since that's the only time that the device is visible as a serial device on USB. You may have to make the device try to sync and then symlink to the USB tty device before it times out.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In fact, jpilot somewhat depends on ancient Linux USB behavior which can be emulated to some extent with udev, but may not be easily achieved on OS X (and I recall having trouble with it even on older OS X, although it has been many years since I had a Palm device).</div>
