Just checking the threads on pilot-link for a problem I have with
install-datebook. The maintainer of that webpage was unemployed for
over a year, and was asking for a few small donations to maintain
the domain name. It doesn't sound like any businesses are supporting
pilot-link. [They have collected $100 in the last thirty days with
paypal.]  Odd, since pilot-link is essential to getting my PDA to work
with linux and jpilot. I think this holds for most PDA's.

Again, what business would rely on software and support supplied in
their spare time by out of work programmers asking for donations? What
if the pilot-link page just went away? The lack of support for USB PDA's
by the distros (I would be happy to hear if SUSE or Redhat support USB
PDA's out of the box) would turn any serious business away from linux
on the desktop.
