Actually I sort of >understand, but not fully Since you have a Tungsten, the following should work for you (as root): chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB* ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot That's all that should be needed. You can check your connectivity by doing the following: ps auwx | grep gpil | grep -v grep | awk '{print "kill " $2}' | sh pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l The first command will kill off any running gpilotd processes, which will prevent pilot-xfer from picking up when you issue the second command, which will print a list of all the databases on your handheld. -- Ben Steeves ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/
