In fact, it is available in userland code as part of code I contributed to the coldsync package (also in the FreeBSD ports tree). The protocol used with the Handspring Visor and Visor Deluxe was reversed engineered with a USB protocol analyzer and is essentially the same as the serial line protocol but using a USB pipe to carry the bits. Other USB-attached Palm-like devices do something different which doesn't work with the code that I wrote. Having this in the kernel is unlikely to make it *easier* to support, but what the heck. The kernel driver will presumably also work with the other legacy PalmOS sync packages that expect at TTY device. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
