I followed this procedure but I still just get
Port: /dev/ttyqe
Please press the HotSync button now...

How do I examine these issues? On my system, a locate devfs shows kernel header files
/usr/include/linux/devfs_fs.h
/usr/include/linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/linux/devfs_fs.ph
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/linux/devfs_fs_kernel.ph
/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h
/usr/src/linux-2.2.19/include/linux/devfs_fs.h
/usr/src/linux-2.2.19/include/linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h
devfs doesn't correspond to any active process.
In xconfig for my kernel 2.2.19 #7 SMP, I have
standard/generic (dumb) serial port turned on, and
support for console on serial port turned off
extended dumb serial driver options turned off
dmesg doesn't contain any tty reference. How do I get more information
about my serial port(s)?

I tried 57600 to start, I also tried 38400, 19200, and 9600.
