I have successfully been using my Tungsten C with 6.1-PRERELEASE, I have my
sync software talk directly to /dev/cuaU0 and it just works, once I got the
permissions straightened out. I have used pilot-xfer as well as KPilot/Kontact.

I did not add any entries in usbd.conf, but I did experiment with
devfs.rules for setting the permissions.
