So now I have:

FreeBSD earth.cybernude.org 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #55: Sat Oct  6 14:02:17 PDT 2007     root at earth.cybernude.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/EARTH  i386

So I went away for a while, and came back and tried it again.  The
system once again failed to recognize the Treo on connection and, so
of course, an attempt to synchronize also failed.  Rats.

earth% usbdevs -v

But usbdevs shows the device.  From my usbd.conf:

device  "Palm Treo 700p"
        devname "ugen[0-9]+"
        vendor  0x0830
        product 0x0061
        attach "rm -f /dev/pilot; chmod 660 /dev/${DEVNAME}; ln -s /dev/${DEVNAME} /dev/pilot"
        detach "rm -f /dev/pilot" 

So this problem is, at least, different.  I think that's progress.  In the previous
iteration, the device didn't appear in usbdevs.  Now it just seems unresponsive.

So, now what?

Thanks!
