Thanks. The box I'm using here doesn't have the old packages so it's a
clean start. I'm staying with Debian (Testing) package handler if I can.

Search on "synce" provided a list and it seemed clear enough what to
install: synce-hal, synce-multisync-plugin, synce-trayicon,
opensync-plugin-synce (that included odccm), opensync-plugin-evolution,
and synce-kpm. I'm assuming that synce-serial is now redundant- but
would it still be necessary to use synce-matchmaker to control
partnerships? Not essential in my case, but interesting to know.

removal of odccm as a package requires removal of opensync-plugin-synce
and sync-sync-engine, so I left them and disabled odccm in /etc/rc. As
you say, the pda is detected and paired, as indicated on the pda itself;
and it can be removed and reconnected. So far so good.
Multisync can't detect the pda. I guess that's an old application- is
kitchensync the best one to use now? Hit a problem when configuring
kitchensync: "unable to read from plugin 'synce-opensync-plugin'; unable
to open /usr/share/opensync/defaults/synce-opensync-plugin for reading-
no such file or directory"
The directory contains only evo2-sync and file-sync. Perhaps I'm missing
a plugin?

Didn't get any prompt- at the moment I have simple numeric protection.
As I say, I think I'm connected OK, so I don't think this is going to be
a problem.
Thanks- Philip
