Yes, I have no problem syncing my IIIc at 115,200 bps in Linux Mandrake 7.2
-- provided I use the pilot-xfer program at the command line. I've had no
luck with either jpilot or kpilot, and I haven't bothered trying Gnome-Pilot.
Pilot-xfer does everything I need so I haven't pursued the problems with
other apps.
First, I'd suggest determining whether you really do have a flaky serial
port.
Then read the INSTALL doc in /usr/share/doc/jpilot-0.98.1 which tells you how
to set up the serial port and permissions (although it sounds like you're on
the right track there).
Then print out the man page for pilot-xfer. Everything you need to know is
right there. Once you're able to sync with pilot-xfer, you'll know that any
further problems you have using jpilot or Gnome-Pilot are with those apps and
not with your basic configuration. It's hard to troubleshoot when there so
many variables.
