Re: Synchronization Cancelled on Pilot
Ooh, ooh. *raising hand* =:) I had this problem when I was trying to
use pilot-xfer to sync my palm pilot (IIIe at OS 3.1 as well as my IIIc
at OS 3.5) on my debian unstable box, using IrDA->/dev/ircommnew0. I had
been exporting my PILOTPORT=/dev/ircommnew0 prior to running pilot-xfer
and _constantly_ got the error that you show below. I'm not sure which
of the changes I made it was that finally got things working, but I can
tell you that everything works flawlessly now....
Are you perchance using IrDA syncing? Anyhoo, here's my settings
now....

This is pilot-xfer from pilot-link version 0.9.5-pre5
I realize that I'm not actually telling you how to fix the problem, but
mail comes through this list so stinking rarely, that I just had to
encourage it... =:)
