Using pilot-xfer (from pilot-link version pilot-link doesn't understand FreeBSD's USB stack (ugen might be more "correct" than presenting a serial port, but it's well-nigh useless and nonportable). The palm/coldsync port is the only thing I'm aware of that works with ugen. > pconn_usb_open: Warning: Unexpected USB vendor ID 0x830. The warning can be ignored, if the rest works (coldsync currently only recognizes Handspring's vendor code). If the sync doesn't work after that, though, then Palm decided to be gratuitously different. :/ -- brandon s. allbery [os/2][linux][solaris][japh] allbery@kf8nh.apk.net system administrator [WAY too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university ["better check the oblivious first" -ke6sls] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
