Folks,
I mentioned this on the users list, but (1) I think it's more appropriate here and (2) I didn't get any response there.
After getting a kernel patch for the pl2303 driver, I can now get multisync to talk to my Sony Ericcson T637 over a USB cable -- but only to a certain extent.
It sync's about 20 numbers and then dies. After some looking, it appears to be because the irmc plugin opens the port with O_NONBLOCK but doesn't expect short writes.
Unfortunately the DCU-11 cable that connects the phone is a USB to Serial converter, and the phone acts as a basic serial device taking AT commands.
Therefore multisync writes some data, and then tries a few times to write more data but fails and therefore gives up.
I have no objection to using nonblocking ports, but then the app needs to be prepared for this cable, since its the cable used for most Sony Ericsson phones.
I've started looking through the code trying to fix it, but I'm getting quite lost, and my socket-programming skills aren't very good.
Any patches, thoughts, help, would be greatly appreciated.
