there are lots. the command line tools and libraries in the pilot-link package are what most of them are based on and there are conduits for ical, netplan, korganizer etc. my favorite one is jpilot (there is a debian package), i don't like the interface very much (it's a near clone of the windows software) but it works properly and doesn't crash. other options are pilot-manager and kpilot (both have debian packages) ... hell there's a lot of them. here are some urls i've colected which you might find useful. - gnome pilot: http://www.gnome.org/gnome-pilot/ - pilot howto: http://www.ssc.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Pilot-HOWTO.html - pilot-ldif: http://student-www.uchicago.edu/~rekopp/software/pilot-ldif/ - sync-cal: http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/syncal/ - pi-address: http://www.in-berlin.de/User/miwie/pia/ - palmsync: http://www2.sis.pitt.edu/~jkabara/pilot-sync/development.html that should get you started anyway. there's lots of half done stuff out there which is mostly useless. jpilot is pretty good though. adam.
