Hi I'm in the process of prepping jonnylambs debian packages for upload to launchpad - they will (in theory) support every supported version of Ubuntu.
We strongly suggest trying to get odccm working. As far as I know its the only way to sync at the moment(?). Also, vdccm may be gone in 0.11 - so its important you help us work out any kinks! Because you are running your device in legacy mode you will need to use the SVN version of odccm, and there is a switch to turn on legacy mode... Is there any reason you aren't using RNDIS mode on your phone/pda? That is supported for most devices, is faster, and removes the step of having to start a PPP connection.
