David, I know I am in the middle of this thread, but here goes, what is the permission of /dev/ttyS0, did you chmod 666 to be able to use it? Best, Keith B. David List wrote:

Hello David, Have you tested your connection with palm link? look at "palm-xfer --help" Also, make sure that your /dev/ttyS0 is really free. That was my problem! I had to switch to /dev/ttyS1.

I'm not sure about what you mean by "free". I have nothing else connected to /dev/ttyS0 physically at any time, and as I said root can connect to the Palm Pilot (with jpilot - I haven't tried with other applications).

Thank you for your answer.

Best regards, David List
