Package: ppp Version: 2.4.2+20040428-5 Severity: normal I had synce working perfectly until feb 14, when the dist-upgrade brought in ppp (2.4.2+20040428-6). From that point on, synce failed to connect the pocket PC to my desktop system.
Downgrading to an earlier version (2.4.2+20040428-5, the version I'm currently running fixed the problem.
