Using the Palm on linux is really no big secret anymore. With Jpilot running as an X frontend for the pilot-link suite, linux support for the Palm is quite good. For that matter, the USB synching HandSpring Visor also works well, using a serial emulation driver built in to the 2.4.0 kernel. I'm not sure if the handspring driver is contained in 2.2.17 or not. Once again, Jpilot and pilot-link work great, synching on device /dev/visor, rather than /dev/ttyS?. One quirk of using the Handsping, is that you must first press the hotsync button on the Visor's USB cradle, before invoking the hotsync operation from the PC side, else pilot-link will fail to detect the visor, and the sych operation will bomb. Palm & Linux is a match made in heaven, IMO :) Page 66, article > entitled "Giving your Palm the Bird" Haven't read it, as I'm still in > the old paper and pen mode.

I'd hate to waste time re-inventing the wheel, so to speak, if this has already been solved. -- Bill Layer Sales Technician <b.layer at vikingelectronics.com>
