I'm really really sorry if this is a repetition or if it's been tried already, but just in case, you may need to type first: export PILOTPORT=/dev/ttyUSB1 =-=-=-= Well, I spent most of Saturday working on this some more and here's what I discovered to be the cause: While this device is a Palm based device, it is not a Palm. It's a Kyocera 7135 Smart Phone with Palm software and I'd thought that since it's a PDA with Palm software, that it would be the same procedure. Indeed, when using the serial port, it is the same procedure as with a Palm PDA, but the USB sync has greater demands. The upshot of it all is that there exist 2 files, drivers, which the USB synch calls to get manufacturer information and starting addresses, etc. These files, VISOR.C and VISOR.H need to have definitions of the device being used, and that information is lacking for many non-mainstream devices. Scouring the Web some more results in a number of other people who have had the same problem with a number of devices, and contacting some of them reveals that no updated files are known to exist for the 7135. I may be able to modify these files with the appropriate information, but that will have to wait until this weekend. Until then it's serial sync for me. I mention this in case anyone else runs into the same problem with a USB device. Thanks to all of you who tried to help, especially HaywireMac. Thanks, Max
