My new cellphone charges thru USB cable, dmesg says, "usb 1-10: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 9" when it is connected. What is this telling me about how I might access the linux file system on the phone? How do I discover the/a device name to use? Thanks for guidance to the confused.
If your cellphone does indeed have a filesystem that's readable by Linux, you'll probably need to use the usb-storage module which turns a USB storage device into a SCSI device to Linux. You can then use this device to access the cellphone.
What does "lsusb" say?

Thanks for your response. Pertinent line from lsusb is, "Bus 001 Device 011: ID 22b8:a732 Motorola PCS". This is the correct phone so apparently it is seen on the usb bus. It seems that once in the hoary past I had created a device for some thing or other, back in SuSE 6x or Mandrake 4.2 era, but darned if I have any idea where to go now. Age is a criminal thing to inflict on the already feeble-minded. Richard
