Actually, it's not Evo's fault. Evo supports gnome-pilotd, which is meant to support conduit-based PDA sync'g. gnome-pilotd doesn't support Zaurus. Ettore wrote a wonderful whitepaper discussing the ins and outs of Evo's structure and design; here's a pointer to the part which applies to this discussion: http://developer.ximian.com/articles/whitepapers/evolution/#SECTION00053000000000000000 Cheers! --j -- Jim Meyer, Geek at Large [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
