Which PDA package are you using? I found problems configuring Kpilot, but Jpilot works just fine for me. Confusingly, Jpilot is under Applications | Communications on the KDE menus, while Kpilot is under Office | PDA. Can't quite see the logic of this. Anyway, if you try Jpilot, just go to File | Preferences | Settings, type in the name of the com port your are attached to and bingo (famous last words I know). Hope that helps /Brian
