As already suggested, try USBtty1 or, even better, on most systems this
successfully defaults to /dev/pilot. Are you using no front-end to do this?
Or is the front end just spewing out no useful error message? I have never
had Debian installed, but its derivative Ubuntu is excellent with handhelds.
Best wishes,
Roy
