Sorry for the slow reply - I've been too busy to keep up on this list. I've been using coldsync from the ports to sync my Visor Delux. It provides the basic framework, with no frills; but it does support USB undef FreeBSD 4.0. (Note - you might need to bring your system up to -stable. I had some problems initially setting coldsync up [ mostly my own ignorance ]; some of them seemed to go away when I CVSup'd and did a make world.) Note that in the default setup, you'll need to run it as root to have access to /dev/ugen0. I chose to fix that by creating a new group, changing the group ownership of /dev/ugen* to the new group, and making coldsync set-gid to that group. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
