Problems with PDA and gnome

Hi, I'm using gnome 2.2.4 rolled by ULB (thanks Rubber). I want to configure my PDA (USB Sony Clie in /dev/ttyUSB0) to access it from Evolution but the configuration with gnome-pilot fails. The pilot configuration freezes when it tries to retrieve the user name and ID. The pilot ends up failing the connection ... It is not a problem with the connection or with pilot-link, I use this PDA for more than a year with J-Pilot. Regards EJ
