I had similar problems with my Tungsten T... just as you describe. I found that often it would work for a while, and then stop working. I haven't found a solution for pilot-xfer, but since I've been using gnome-pilot, I've had no problems (touch wood)... And I simply install files now using gpilot-install-file. Of course, you could always try /dev/ttyUSB0, i think the Palms use 0 whereas the Visors use 1. HTH Martin Begin Dirk Aubrey quotation: > There's piles of traffic concerning USB palms out there.
