I am trying to (again) sync my Tungsten E to Kontact. I got it to work once, but now it won't budge. The error in Kpilot is: 20:12:30 Daemon status is `Waiting for sync' 20:15:55 Pilot device /dev/ttyUSB1 does not exist. Assuming the device uses DevFS. 20:15:56 Trying to open device /dev/ttyUSB1... 20:15:56 Already listening on that device Check Pilot path and permissions. 20:15:56 Could not open device: /dev/ttyUSB1 (will retry) 20:16:06 Already listening on that device Check Pilot path and permissions.

Now that I see that, I even more confused. How did it work before? And, since there is no device now, how do I get one? Any ideas? Thanks eric
