Greetings, I'm new to Debian, so please forgive me if this has been beaten to death. Through Red Hat, Fedora, and OpenSuSE I've not been able to get my old Palm IIIxe to connect and ultimately sync. This is something I was really hoping to be able to do with Debian but I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible at all.
I have the original serial syncing cradle, with an USB adapter. Using the serial connection and KPilot, the Palm acts like it's talking to kpilot and tells me it's connecting and cleaning up but it's unable to sync, which is farther than I've gone with anything else. That's using the configuration wizard in kpilot, and autodetecting. Using the usb adapter gets me no connection at all and the "unable to connect" message on the Palm itself. I've told kpilot to use /dev/ttyS0 directly, and I've linked /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/pilot and tried it that way with no luck. I've found TONS of information through Google over the last year or two, but nothing that actually works. Is it possible to sync up this thing with Linux or have I been tilting at windmills? Assuming it is possible (I believe that ultimately anything with Linux is possible given enough effort) can someone point me to a dangerously simple and clear cut method for doing so? I have Etch installed, as of last Thursday. Thanks for any help, information, brickbats. Rob Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
