Thank you.  I did some more research on this last night and found out that 
I was being mis-lead by observing how other USB Serial devices were 
working and used under Linux - without having to install a driver.
Apparently 
these were all using the FTDI chip - and there is a driver that is already 
installed for them.

Yes - the driver now autoloads and I can communicate with the device 
using the /dev/ttyACM0 node. I was able to install picocom and talk to and 
from our display.

Thanks to everyone who replied to this question for your assistance.
