Okay! I updated hotplug, pilot-xfer, and gpilotd. Made sure gpilotd runs at boot, then all the needed modprobes (usb-uhci, visor). Run something like
pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l it asks to press the hotsync button. I do, and the program runs. It's all so simple -- after a couple month's worth of dicking around. ;) Thanks to everyone for your help and tips. I still have to test/run with kpilot, jpilot, or evolution. Right now I'm just happy to get the things to talk with each other reasonably. thanks again, dirk aubrey Martin Strauss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > I had similar problems with my Tungsten T... just as you describe.
