You shouldn't need to know the PID and VID now that we've identified
that the usbserial module is picking up the device. You should just be
able to point your application to /dev/ttyUSB0. If you wanted to make it
use something like /dev/siemens, then that's a different matter. If you
can get Gammu installed, it's fairly easy to configure (the default
configuration file is littered with useful comments) and use.
