Hi

I spent a long time trying to get my Palm Vx to sync with my Rev. A iMac
over IrDA without success. Now I'm kind of desperate.

Here's what I've done so far:

imac:~/test# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
macserial              39316   1 
ircomm-tty             37384   0 
ircomm                 17808   0  [ircomm-tty]
irtty                   9536   2 
irda                  177332   1  [ircomm-tty ircomm irtty]

imac:~/test# ps ax | grep ira
  615 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s

I am running kernel 2.4.18-ben0, Debian woody and irda-common /
irda-tools 0.9.14-16

I tried different speeds, different FlowControl settings on the Palm and
the modules in different orders; macserial before irda stuff and irda
stuff before macserial. With the modules setup shown above, I had a
partial success with pilot-xfer.

imac:~/test# pilot-xfer -p /dev/ircomm0 -b pilot
   Port: /dev/ircomm0

Perhaps I need to mention that syncin' on MacOS 8.6 with PalmDesktop
2.6.3 works flawlessly.

Maybe some of you IrDA-Gurus have an idea what I could try more?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards ...and sorry for my ugly English...
