Yes, I only installed serircommlib.prc and serialirpnl.prc, as the
readme suggested.

Done.
I changed the mode of /dev/ircomm0 to crw-rw-r-- and the owner to
root:uucp. Now, my normal user account - which is also a member of
group uucp - can run coldsync directly.
As you said, there sometimes is a problem when you try to hotsync for
the first time after reboot. Maybe that it just happend by accident,
but I discovered that it seems to work when you start the hotsync on
the visor, and then within one or two seconds start coldsync on the
notebook. When I started coldsync first, or when I waited until the
hotsync on the visor reported a connection problem, then I had to
reboot (warm) the visor, because it reported a Fatal Exception.
But after a restart of the irda system (/sbin/init.d/irda restart on
SuSE), it seems to work stable (no reboot of the visor necessary).
This is for kernel 2.2.16, SuSE.
Thanks again for your help,
John Schrader
