Palm Zire 72 and FC2 USB connection

[Dexter Ang]

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone else here uses a Palm Zire 72 on FC2? Has 
anyone successfully connected and used pilot-xfer using a USB 
connection? I've noticed when "tail -f /var/log/messages" that my Palm 
keeps alternating connection between /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 and then to 
/dev/ttyUSB2 and 3. Is this simply a strangeness of the Zire 72? Or 
something that can be solved somehow in FC2?

Specifically /var/log/messages shows:
