I was able to sync on both fc3 and fc4 last night, so it appears that the key to success is timing. Oon fc3 I was starting the sync on the palm and waiting 10s before running pilot-xfer or starting the sync in jpilot. With the latest kernel this appears to be too long. My current guess is 3-4 s on FC4 (P4 1.8 Ghz) and 6s on FC3 (PPro 200 mhz). -- George N. White III Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
