On Linux, you could also use pty's to perform a local sync. However, I recall having intermittent problems with pilot-link trying to bind to the serial port when doing this. But YMMV. FWIW, here are some old instructions I have:
* Set the Serial port in the Preferences to /dev/pty*. (The suggested device was /dev/ptyqe.) * Start a new emulation session. * Select HotSync menu item. * In another terminal, execut "pilot-xfer /dev/tty* -l". (That is, /dev/ttyqe if using the suggested pty.) -- Keith At 2:10 PM -0500 1/4/02, James Barwick wrote: >On windows, the Palm OS Emulator doesn't sync through serial (unless >you have a loopback cable).
