Dear Wayne,

I think that the problem is with the ports that you have selected. Stephen
Bosch put a special point that I have suffered with the ports. So, if you use
it as a user, you have to pay attention with the permissions of the port.
There's an special part on the kpilot help that say this:

> Pilot Device: This is the serial port that the cradle is connected to. By
default it is set to /dev/pilot which should be a symbolic link to the proper
serial port. Make sure the serial port has the correct permissions. It must
be read/write by all if KPilot is intended to be used by a normal user! This
is done by doing a chmod 666 /dev/____ where '____' is the correct serial
port.>

I use Mandrake 7.0 and I have used ttySx and cuax and both of them have
worked.

Otherwise, dear George Czerw, if you let me say this, I don't want to be
unpolite or similar, and everybody can do everything they do (with a respect
with the others) but I think that is better that the solutions of the
problems in the list were public with the list, because another people can
read the solutions and maybe use it in the future. I have solved several
things only reading the things that the other people have written. I'm sure
that you have point this with all of your good intention, but if you write
between you in this (of course that you can write between you in everything
that you want) the others don't know solutions or betters solutions.

As the other people have said I prefer jpilot vs kpilot, however kpilot has a
import feature of address book that jpilot doesn't have. Jpilot but has a
printer feature of some things.

Lamentably I have to confess that many things I have to do it with the
windows software that comes with the pilot. It's a pity that the 3com people
doesn't include a linux/unix of their software with the hardware, but well,
..non comment.

I hope that my comments can help in something.

Regards,

Leo
