USB->Serial adapters create serial devices with names that look like "ttyUSBn".
Note that the "tty" is in lowercase, the "USB" is in uppercase, and the "n" is 
a decimal integer starting from 0. If you only have one such device then its 
name will be "ttyUSB0". Remember to tell brltty to use serial (not USB) I/O.
