Tha .map file itself does nothing, the .tec file is important? Have
you run mktexlsr AFTER installing the .tec file? If the .tec file is
in a correct directory, mktexlst has been run and it still does not
work, it will be necessary to try

strace xelatex DevtoTel

in order to see what files are used.
