Hello,

	I just bought a Motorola V180 (*) and I was trying to play with the USB 
connection. lsusb seems to see it properly. I then try looking for 
synchronization tools on linux. After a google search I found:

   http://dev.gentoo.org/~brix/papers/A920/A920.html

	Is this information still up to date ? Do I really need to install 
'bind' and setup pppd as specified ?

	If so I have few -dummy- questions, I am on debian testing and I have 
installed bind.

	2) I modified /etc/bind/named.conf as mentioned on the web page. But 
then I don't have no file called: /etc/bind/pri/mrouter.zone. Do I need 
a special package for this one ? Anyway I created this file, and try the 
next step.

	3.1) It seems now that one cannot modified /etc/modules.conf (this is a 
generated file), so instead I typed:

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x22b8 product=0x4902

doing tail -f /var/log/messages did no shows up anything particular (scary).

	3.2) /dev/ttyUSB0 does exist on my system. I then created a file 
/etc/ppp/peers/V180-USB as specified.

	But then when I try: sudo pppd call V180-USB nodetach I get:

"Failed to open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such device"

	Is there somebody that has a motorola or has had the same problems as I 
have right now and is willing to help me ?

thanks so much
Mathieu
