Wow!  That sounded bad!  Sorry for sounding like a conceited dickhead!  I do know a moderate amount about USB and Linux, but mainly that it normally just works...
Sorry if that sounded bad, Bruce!

I know the bit about watching /var/log/messages but was wondering if there was something in /proc which might be a more precise mechanism.  I wondered if someone out there who knows more about USB in linux than I do might answer.  I wondered if perhaps /dev/usb/??? or /dev/ttyUSB?? might be the default...  As it is the Earthmate shows up as a "hid" device and appears to be assigned to /dev/usb/hiddev0 but I've been thus far unable to access it there...
