USB and JPilot

[Michael Collette]

Have a friend who is looking to purchase a new laptop to run FreeBSD on.  The 
most likely purchase for him is one of the R Series Thinkpads, as it's a 
pretty good mix of what he's looking for.

My primary concern for his purchase on this is that these laptops do not come 
with a standard serial port.  USB only.  He heavily relies on JPilot and a 
serial connection to his Handspring Visor via pilot-link.  Unfortunately, I 
can't test the setup with USB at this time as he's lost his USB cradle.

I know there's a uvisor tweak in the kernel these days, and pilot-link is 
supposed to support USB now.  Still, I was wondering if anyone has actually 
gotten this working, and reliable?

Thanks,
