OK. I'll try to give you a few things I learned while trying to get my Clie to sync (this *does* work, after a fashion): If you're coming from a sync-over-serial situation (or if you haven't tried this at all) it might be natural to treat /dev/uvisor like a serial port over which you can do a sync. For some set of PalmOS devices (which includes my Sony TJ37) this doesn't work. I had to do a whole bunch of Googling to figure out that *if* you're in this situation, you need to make the PalmOS device speak PPP over USB to your FreeBSD box. Then you configure jpilot to sync with "net:any" and the sync happens over a TCP connection over the PPP link. Grenville Armitage has a nice writeup of this here: http://gja.space4me.com/things/Palm_TungstenC_FreeBSD.html Compounding this problem for me was that the uvisor driver somehow couldn't find the right attachment point (port?) on the TJ37. This is the part that green@ and I did a couple of iterations on. (He was trying to get a Handspring Treo to work.) This was in a thread on current@ that started on 1 July 2004 with this email: Message-ID: <20040701154429.GA3543@tomcat.kitchenlab.org> The end result was a patch to uvisor that lets me sync. It's not committed to the tree yet. Not sure what green@'s plans are for this.=20 I'm happy to keep it as a local mod. > > What kind of PalmOS device is it? >=20 > palm tungsten-t Grenville had a Tungsten-C so this might be applicable to you.
