Ok, I found that the Handspring Visor USB cradle has two ports: 1 generic port at ttyUSB0 and 1 HotSync port at ttyUSB1. Does this mean that JPilot, pilot-link, coldsync, etc. all use ttyUSB1 as they all have something to do with HotSync operations?

Yes, the Visor syncs on ttyUSB1. Here is what I did using pilot-link and J-pilot. I changed to root and set the permissions on the USB devices so that regular users (me) could read and write to them: chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB* Then, I created a symbolic link in /dev/ to point to the /dev/ttyUSB1 device: cd /dev ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 pilot Then, in J-pilot, you put /dev/pilot under File / Preferences / Settings tab / serial port. I have the speed set to 115k but I think it will go faster. To perform the hotsync when everything is set up, make sure the "visor" kernel module is loaded, open J-pilot and click the "sync" button first, then press the sync button on the cradle immediately after. You should see sync messages at the bottom of J-pilot as it runs.
