I uncommented uvisor in the kernel config file, installed the newer uvisor.c, rebuilt and installed the new kernel. Pressing the hotsync button did indeed create a /dev/cuaU0 but I had to add myself to the 'dialer' group to use it. Palm syncing now works again with jpilot! BTW, when might that newer uvisor.c be merged into the RELENG_8 sources? Thanks also to Roland. I already had add path 'usb/*' in my /etc/devfs.rules. Best wishes, Tony
