-- left it as is (as you said no reason to), still not syncing. I use
the /tmp/pilot port, tested on evo with nothing at all. Tried to jump
to jpilot (as they have the sync icon / debug window). Pressing the syc
button you get the "PRESS HOTSYNC NOW", after pressing, you get nothing
in jpilot, but in the messages file you get:
