Re: Need guidance in choosing mail-client
I would have to agree. I have tried loads of mail clients in my time and mutt does it for me. I don't go in for bells and whistles so I find gui-based clients somewhat tiresome. mutt is very flexible and the sort-by-thread option is brilliant. It doesn't do html, but then e-mail should be text - if I receive an e-mail message in html-only I have no qualms about deleting it without reading it ;o) Try mutt - you won't be disappointed. Unless you crave a gui ;o) Tony On Thu, Jul 03, 2003 at 01:21:35AM -0400, parv wrote: in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], wrote Joachim Dagerot thusly...

pilot-link, Visor USB
Hi, I know there are issues with syncing Palms via USB, but thought I would ask the colective wisdom of this list anyway ;o) I followed the howto at http://www.geekhome.net/palm.html to get my HandSpring Visor syncing with pilot-link via the USB port (running FreeBSD v4.8 by the way). What I did went something like this: (1) Reconfigured kernel to include support for ucom and uvisor (uhci and usb support was already there). Removed support for all other usb related stuff that I don't use (ohci, ugen, uhid, ulpt, umass, ums, uscanner, urio, aue, cue, kue). (2) make buildkernel KERNCONF=LOCAL (LOCAL being the name of my modified) make installkernel KERNCONF=LOCAL (kernel configuration file) (3) Removed all the crap from /etc/usbd.conf and added: device Handspring Visor devname ucom0 vendor 0x082d product 0x0100 release 0x0100 (4) Created the appropriate devices in /dev: sh MAKEDEV ucom sh MAKEDEV ucom0 ln -s /dev/ucom0 pilot ln -s /dev/ucom0 palm ln -s /dev/ucom0 visor (5) Added my user login to the dialer group. (6) Installed JPilot (and therefore pilot-link) from the ports collection. (7) Rebooted. (8) Ran tail -f /var/log/messages and hit the HotSync button on the USB cradle to check thhat the Visor was talking to ucom0 bash-2.05b$ tail -f /var/log/messages Jun 11 16:32:30 mulder /kernel: ucom0: Handspring Inc Handspring Visor, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2 Jun 11 16:32:30 mulder /kernel: ucom0: Handspring Inc Handspring Visor, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2 Jun 11 16:32:35 mulder /kernel: ucom0: at uhub0 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected Jun 11 16:32:35 mulder /kernel: ucom0: detached (9) Added the PILOTPORT=/dev/ucom0 environment variable to my login script. (10) Fired up install-user from the pilot-link application (hit HotSync button on USB cradle first to get Visor talking to ucom0) which claims then to be listening to ucom0, /var/log/messages reported and IO error and install-user just sits there. When you kill install-user this crashes the machine and forces it to reboot. Not nice. It was all going so well until the last part ;o) Can anyone offer any words of wisdom as to where I went wrong and how to correct it?

Re: Handspring Visor and J-Pilot
Douglas, I also tried to get my Visor working with J-Pilot and couldn't even manage the first stage of getting pilot-link working. I found some documentation (can't remember where) about using ucom devices instead of usb ones and whilst I managed to get the system to recognise the Visor when I hit the HotSync button, pilot-link refused to see the device. I'm relatively inexperienced w.r.t. FreeBSD but a colleague with years of use of FreeBSD couldn't get it to work either. In the end I decided to increase the vintage of my OS to v4.8 ;o) Tony On Mon, Jun 09, 2003 at 10:13:59AM -0500, Douglas G.

pilot-link Handspring Visor
