[Teruel de Campo MD <chusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have not had any problems to sync the treo 700p (and before 650) with
kpilot. Kpilot offer two choices kaddress and evolution. I use kaddress.
It works very well. I am running suse 10.2

As I say, initially they weren't listed, then I discovered the files that represent them were present but in a directory other than where evolution was looking. Then I copied the files and they just don't seem to work, but don't give error messages.
