Thanks a lot for the info and the link! I just setup udev and it really rocks 
(except that I haven't been able to detect my clie's memory stick as usb 
storage device...). If anybody is interested, here are my lines for the clie 
and my siemens usb-to-serial convert for my mobile phone:

SYSFS{manufacturer}="Sony Corp.", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld", 
SYSFS{idVendor}="054c", NAME="pilot"

SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld", NAME="pilot_any"

# TODO: Make this work to mount the memorystick:
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="CLIE MGMS       ", NAME="clie%n"

# Siemens usb-to-serial converter
BUS="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}="2303", SYSFS{idVendor}="067b", NAME="handy"


In particular, only my Clie NR70V (connected via usb) gets the /dev/pilot 
device, all other palm handhelds will get /dev/pilot_any. And the mobile will 
be /dev/handy, no matter what is plugged in first. So far, the mobile got an 
ttyUSB, and the handheld got two, but their numbering depended on which was 
plugged in first.
