The kernel provides a device node for each of your USB devices, but you aren't really supposed to interact with those using the standard Unix utilities. They're used by libusb, which makes it possible to drive USB devices directly from user space. For instance, sane's USB scanner drivers use libusb, and libusb communicates with the kernel via device nodes under /dev/bus/usb. I don't know much more about how libusb works internally. My understanding is kind of sketchy. So what I'm saying is that those device nodes are only of interest if you wanted to write a user-space programm using libusb to directly interact with the TripleTalk. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
