Re: [edlug] Hot Syncing Pilot clones? / Standing Order

[Alex Wasserman <a.wasserman@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

I used kpilot, jpilot and the GNOME/Evolution conduits with a Palm 5. 
It was connected using the serial port from its cradle.
I had some problems though, although that was more distro dependent. 
Mainly I just had to ensure that there was a link from /dev/pilot to 
/dev/whereever_it's_plugged_in. After that I had to check the 
connection speed.

I also used a serial to USB adaptor. I just enabled the relevant kernel 
option and loaded the module.  Then made sure of the link again.

I think Evolution worked best for an all inclusive system, I didn't 
much like the kpilot setup and gnome-pilot didn't do a lot. Jpilot is 
very much an inferior clone of the Palm Desktop suite. Good, but not 
very integrated with anything else. Evolution has a good set of 
conduits.

On a totally separate note the Standing Order is the large Wetherspoons 
pub on George Street, just down from Castle Street. I think its Castle 
street anyway. Its in one of the big banks.
