Why would you think that I didn't read your attachment? Of course I had.
I've gone much further than that (getting device info from udevinfo and
working through pilot-xfer).

If you look at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158809
you will realize that I've been connecting/debugging/reporting on Palm
devices, udev, pilot-link, gpilotd and connections for several years.

I will add to the bug report when I have something more useful to add.
