Thanks Ben,<br>
<br>
My Palm is a Tungsten, so I am doing the following commands separately,<br>
<br>
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot<br>
<br>
then<br>
<br>
chmod 666 /dev/pilot<br>
<br>
and then I run the gnome-pilot and try to sync.<br>
<br>
Still not seeing the unit, although it did when I ran JDS a while ago,
so I will mess around a little more,<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the support,<br>
<br>

Your instructions are a little unclear -- are you saying you should do
the link (the ln command) for all three files? 'Cos that won't work
-- once the first file is linked to that file name (/dev/pilot), ln
will give you the error message that the file already exists. The
/dev/pilot link needs to be made *only* to the /dev/ttyUSB? device on
which your particular device passes data (although they all open two
channels, only one is used for data -- the other is (at a guess) for
communication control).
On a Tungsten-line handheld, that port is /dev/ttyUSB1. On an m5xx,
it's /dev/ttyUSB0. To figure out which it is for your particular
device, kill off gpilotd, and try the following (after changing the
permissions on the ports as above)...
pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB{0 or 1} -l
...which will print a list of all the databases on your handheld (if
the connection port was the correct one). If it just hangs, do a
Ctrl-C and try the other port.
