I, too, bought a Zaurus before I fully understood the issues involved; it's largely because of the fact that the Zaurus is a Linux box and not a PalmOS device that the sync'g system built up around Palm's standards doesn't work for the Zaurus. Now it's on my list of spare-time projects to work out a proper sync mechanism for Zaurus to Evo and back. Realize that even though it's at the top of my spare-time pile, it'll be months before I have the time to read enough code to get anywhere interesting. Meanwhile, there are a number of people who've worked out rudimentary scripts that munge the files between the two and work it all out; you might try searching Sourceforge and/or Freshmeat for "Zaurus". If you turn up something interesting, please inform the list as this question pops up about once per month. When last I looked the available products were all still heavy alpha and not useful enough that I felt I could rely upon them. =\ Cheers! --j -- Jim Meyer, Geek at Large [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
