Neither do I :) But if "usb:" works for you, stick with it and hopefully it'll do a better job for the Treo680. > > This doesn't surprise me.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I really don't think syncing two devices bidirectionally is going to work with gnome-pilot right now. If you want to see the Treo's unique IDs you can look in the files ~/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/pilot-map-*.xml > I travel a lot between two countries, so I get two Treos with 2 SIM > cards, one for each country. > It's why I need to sync these two Treos. Okay, that makes some sense. I don't know much about Treos but I'm amazed there isn't a GSM/CDMA version that can be used worldwide. > > The obvious workaround is to have one of the Treos set to 'copy to > PDA'. > > This will mean that changes made on that Treo will NOT show up in > > Evolution, but it should mean that you can sync with both devices > > without getting duplicates. > > I've already thought to this workaround.

The "copy to PDA" is on the conduit screen but the settings are PER-PDA. Select the PDA from the drop-down list, and configure your per-PDA conduit settings. > > > Notice in Windows with Outlook/Pocket Mirror, the sync works very > fine > > > with the two Treos. > > > > I am not familiar with how this setup deals with multiple devices, > so > > can't comment. > > I don't know how Pocket Mirror managed to sync the two Treos, but it > does it. May be it keeps track of unique IDs and a mapping between the > two devices ? I suspect it does a 'slow sync' - ignoring the unique IDs and comparing the contents of each record to perform matches.
