I don't think MOTECOM is significant to downloading programs,
only 'listening' to data messages. I believe the tmote system
has some magic for determining what USB port to use for downloads.
You might try reviewing the setup info in the tmote manual,
I remember there being some way to explicitly ref the port you want.
