Thanks for all of the recommendations. So far I am not out of the woods. A. In my case I am syncing a Handspring Visor. So I think maybe the link to /dev/ttyUSB1 may be appropriate. (I have a generic question with respect to this which I will put at the end of this email.) B. What I now find is that if I re-boot both the Handspring *and* my computer (SuSE 8.2), I can sync just fine with jpilot the first time. Thereafter, whenever I try to sync, the Handspring reports that it cannot connect with the computer and I get the following message from jpilot: pi_accept Invalid argument Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_PI_ACCEPT Note: I am not certain that the reboot of the Handspring is necessary. I have not tried to reboot only the computer. But I am sure that the reboot of the computer is necessary. I have tried rebooting -- i.e. re-setting -- only the Handspring. I looked for a process to kill instead of having to reboot the computer, but could not figure out which one it could be. Any ideas?? My more generic question: How does one figure out what device should be the symlink target? E.g., I had an idea that I should try /dev/ttyUSB1 for /dev/pilot, since I had been told by someone that that is what I should use for the Handspring Visor. But I am also trying to get my modem to work and have had troubles with a USB printer. In both of these cases my problems are likely not with what device they are symlinked to. But it would be good to be sure that they are symlinked to the correct devices to eliminate that as a potential source of the problems. TIA!

Hi!
I have been following this thread and decided to try jpilot. But I can't get it to connect. (I can get kpilot to connect, albeit erractically.)
I supect the problem is due to the fact that my connection is through a cradle which uses USB. I have symlinked (ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot). But the settings menu in jpilot don't explicitly mention USB.
Is USB is supported by jpilot? If so, is there some trick I am missing to get it to use USB? Or??
TIA!

It will work under KDE. If you are going to compile it yourself I suggest you go for the CVS version since it is much better than 0.9.5. By default jpilot utilizes gtk 1.x, if you want a gtk2 version pass the flag --enable-gtk2 when doing ./autogen.sh. You can make it look some what the same as your other KDE app if you use Keramik as your KDE theme and Geramik for gtk.
