coincidentally, just yesterday, i connected my laptop to an ARM
embedded system thru its serial port and, since my laptop doesn't have
a serial port, i used a USB -based targus port replicator and, upon
connection, the new serial port on the laptop showed up as
/dev/ttyUSB0 and that's what i used to configure minicom.

so it *appears* that the /dev/ttyUSB* naming convention still works.
