I am afraid, at least on my Clie T615C, this statement is not true in
the case of the USB cradle. Device 'ucom' (or whatever the name du jour
is) is created *after* I press HotSync button. As the result first sync
packet get swallowed by the driver and deadlock ensue. This is the
reason behind 'dial' line in the configuration (and matching script on
the Clie).

Sony Clie T615C with Memory Stick Bluetooth Card.

Both commands would cause Clie to show dialog box stating that Bluetooth 
connection is in progress.

If you can post the log, it would be good -- I've omitted 
Palm-side configuration in my instructions which might have 
caused you considerable amount of grief -- I am using static 
address (192.168.1.2) and static DNS (less important by might 
fall through during negotiation).

Side note -- to quote pilot-link man page:

pi-csd this must be running to accept Network HotSync(tm) connects.

admittedly it does not elaborate much and it took me some time and few 
tcpdump sessions to get it to work.
