OK.  I'll try to give you a few things I learned while trying to get my
Clie to sync (this *does* work, after a fashion):

If you're coming from a sync-over-serial situation (or if you haven't
tried this at all) it might be natural to treat /dev/uvisor like a
serial port over which you can do a sync.  For some set of PalmOS
devices (which includes my Sony TJ37) this doesn't work.  I had to do a
whole bunch of Googling to figure out that *if* you're in this
situation, you need to make the PalmOS device speak PPP over USB to your
FreeBSD box.  Then you configure jpilot to sync with "net:any" and the
sync happens over a TCP connection over the PPP link.  Grenville
Armitage has a nice writeup of this here:

http://gja.space4me.com/things/Palm_TungstenC_FreeBSD.html

Compounding this problem for me was that the uvisor driver somehow
couldn't find the right attachment point (port?) on the TJ37.  This is
the part that green@ and I did a couple of iterations on.  (He was
trying to get a Handspring Treo to work.)  This was in a thread on
current@ that started on 1 July 2004 with this email:

Message-ID:  <20040701154429.GA3543@tomcat.kitchenlab.org>

The end result was a patch to uvisor that lets me sync.  It's not
committed to the tree yet.  Not sure what green@'s plans are for this.=20
I'm happy to keep it as a local mod.

Grenville had a Tungsten-C so this might be applicable to you.


Bruce.
