Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

The link must have slipped him, I've had that happen to me once or twice...
To further his comments, I'd suggest you plug something into your ports and open harddrake to see what the new device is registered as. But really, it just depends on what you plug into them, there isn't particularly a /dev/usbdevice type thing...
When i was using SUSE Live Eval i think the were something like /dev/ACM0 and /dev/ACM1 so I thought Mandrake would have the same type of thing. I really ask so I can find out out where my modem is most likely attached (it is a USB modem).
That's a rough one, especially since Mandrake uses DevFS...
You might be able to find it around the /dev/usb area, it may even be symlinked already for you (DevFS uses an intricate system of symlinks to assist with compatibility) to /dev/ttyS0 (or whichever the standard com is )
I'll move this to Linux - Hardware so the guru's over there can get a better look at it
