Well, hmm... That's good to know you had it working.  I'll check into it 
again.  I hooked the serial device up, fired up minicom and couldn't get 
any characters comming back.  Verified the line settings and all too. 
Finally tried the laptop, using the same cable, and all was fine.
To be honest, it wasn't entirely debian's kernel.  It was their source 
package, but I rebuilt with USB support.  When I get a chance, I'll look 
at this again.
