I have found that binding to ttyUSB1 will not work until the port is created and destroyed once prior to hotsync and not before pilot-link has had an initial connection.
My method after clean install of Mandrake (only has to be done once) 1. command line 2. plug in and press hotsync 3. let the device time out, clear error on device 4. press hotsync 5. pilot-xfer -p ttyUSB1 -b /home/me/clie/backup After a successful backup (hopefully), run jpilot and set the port up in preferences /dev/ttyUSB1. Close jpilot, press sync on the device and open jpilot and press sync... should work. I have found on all syncs after the initial sync that jpilot will not communicate with my clie until the device times out once. 1. press sync on the device/cradle and let it time out 2. press sync again and then open jpilot and press sync Support should be better than this but the what can you do. Let me know if it works for you. This method works on my 3 different machines.
