USB is working because I can use ColdSync fine (should probably stick with command line tools anyway). Also, I've started Jpilot both with and without the cradle-button pressed. If press the HotSync button, then tail -f /var/log/messages, *then* start Jpilot and try to sync, I get "pi_bind: Invalid Argument," strangly enough, this seems to be an improvement over "Device not configured." I looked on the pilot-unix list, and saw people using pilot-tools with Visor/USB successfully under Linux, but no FreeBSD specific stuff, which made me think it might be FreeBSD specific. -J -- Jonathan__________________________Pennington_____________________ CoastalGeology.Org (CGO) | EGg0 Educational Robotics | http://coastalgeology.org | http://eggo.sourceforge.net | john@coastalgeology.org | eggo_robotics@bellsouth.net | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
