I'm not clear on what you mean by "switching USB ports". As I
understand it, the "ports" are really more like channels, in that
they're selected in software, and not physical at all. The device
selected by the handheld is largely affected by the USB hardware or
the OS in use on the handheld -- for example, my OS4.1 m505 used to
talk on /dev/ttyUSB0 and my T|T and T|T3 use /dev/ttyUSB1, even though
in both cases, it conects to both 0 and 1 when the sync starts. In
/var/log/messages, I notice that the "address" continues to increase
on every sync, but the attached ports stay the same.
