It should appear as any USB serial device. Anything in dmesg on

P2K is both the name of the protocol and the proprietary Motorola OS. I
don't know if this is the same that your phone has. It should work in
VMWare, but when the phone switches modes it's vendor and product IDs
change (and you have to quickly reattach the phone to the VM).
I've sent a whole lot of other replies to myself, each with more and
more info. I really don't think what I'm giving is necessarily what your
asking though.
