I'm trying to configure my ThinkPad R31, running suSE 9.0, to connect to my Palm computer, but don't seem to know how to do it. I have Kpilot installed and /dev/pilot is linked to /dev/ircom0. I have also tried using the IR port configured as com port B, with appropriate link. However neither the Palm nor Kpilot see each other. Irdadump shows nothing. I don't see any useful info in the SuSE help center on this either. Any ideas? BTW, Hotsync works fine in XP on this same computer. tnx jk
