Now, when I hit the Hot Sync button on the cradle, I get the feedback that there's a connection and it says "Identifying user" on the Visor, but it just hangs there and eventually gives up. If I comment out the action and try it from the commandline, pilot-xfer says " Listening for incoming connection on usb:/dev/ugen0... ". It seems to me that both are waiting for the other to initiate something. ugen0 doesn't get created until I hit the HotSync button, but the pilot-link stuff seems to be waiting for that to happen again? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.
