I've been googling around trying to figure out how to use JPilot to sync my palm. My other os (vista) isn't supported (how stupid is that???) - so I'm thinking "SuSE" - has anyone been able to do this? I installed JPilot and a couple others from YaST repos and get as far as telling the software to sync - it replies "hit the hot sync button your palm now" and I do that but after a long time, the palm says the connection could not be established..." It's just a USB connection so there shouldn't be driver problems... Any experience would be appreciated!

Thanks!!

Edit: I found that a character device appears in /dev/bus/usb/001 whenever I connect my z22 to a USB port. It can't be mounted being a character device. I tried pilot-xfer as well as JPilot and they all seem to talk about a "port" named /dev/pilot. Is this something I have to create myself, analogously to mount-ing a block device to an existing directory? (I tried entering /dev/bus/usb/001/XXX as the port - but that doesn't seem to work.)

EDIT2: YAY! I found that KPilot autodetects the port - /dev/ttyUSB1 It seems to be backing up and syncing well with KDE-PIM...
Wow - do my eyes deceive me? :huh: :blink: It even seemed to update the latest news headlines (to my palm) from the internet! :blink:
