I've made some progress, so I'm on the right track, but ..... 1 - I figured out why I was getting **seemingly** random device numbers and why some of them disappered and others didn't. When the Palm and pilot-xfer don't communicate, the Palm is usually the one to time-out and when that happens I stop pilot-xfer with Ctrl-Z. I discovered that in these cases, the pilot-xfer proccess is still running. Killing the proccess also kills the ttyUSB* devices that pilot-xfer seems to be holding on to. The cases when pilot-xfer timed out (or got a data error) didn't leave stray proccesses or devices. 2 - After discovering how to get rid of the extra processes and devices, rmmod worked and when I reconnected the USB cable, the modules and devices were correctly loaded. 3 - I did alot of experimenting (including connecting to different USB plug both with and without a hub). For some reason, out of abot 20 experiments I did in the past hour, most of the timed out on the Palm, but in 2 cases I got a dta error message from pilot-xfer. And more interesting - In 2 cases, pilot-xfer ACTUALLY WORKED. But I haven't been able to see any reason why on those 2 tries pilot-xfer DID talk to the Palm. I now intend to clean everything up and make a few more tries. I'll try to keep acurate records of what I do and see if the log entries can be of any help. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail 1.7.1 (KDE 3.2.3) on LINUX Mandrake 10.1 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
