Hi Greg. I downloaded the coldsync-2.2.4-20011112.tar.gz package (http://www.ooblick.com/software/coldsync/#download), and installed coldsync as explained in the README file that comes with it. Then I created a file ~/.coldsyncrc file based on the sample.coldsync.rc. I removed the "listen" diretives and included the following lines: listen serial { device: "/dev/ttyUSB1"; protocol: simple; } After this, I ran coldsync and it synchronized! A further step was to insert the pda description of my Palm in the ~/.coldsyncrc as it appeared on the screen; something like: pda "My Palm m500" { snum: "632H7686P16"; directory: "/home/myself/.palm"; username: "MY NAME HERE"; userid: 12346; } I still need to set up some conduits, but I believe I can start to work now! Thank you very much for you help. Hugo. _______________________________________________ Pilot-unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu/mailman/listinfo/pilot-unix
