Synch via Docking Station?

["T. H. Newman" <newmanth usa net>]

Hello,

I'm running Red Hat 7.0 on my Compaq Presario laptop and am trying to
get it to synch with my Palm Vx.  Since the laptop only has a USB
connection (no serial ports or IrDA connection) I purchased a docking
station in order to synch using  gnome-pilot (among other reasons).
I've been unable to get pilot-xfer to work with this configuration.

Is it possible to synch via a docking station with a serial port?

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate the help.


Here is my list of serial ports recognized by Linux

$ dmesg | fgrep tty
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

I then tried the export PILOTPORT=dev/ttyS00

When I run

$ pilot-xfer -b palm

I get a msg "Unable to bind to port dev/ttyS00"

(Same thing for tty01)

Here are the packages I have installed

$ rpm -qa | egrep pilot
pilot-link-0.9.5-0_helix_2
gnome-pilot-0.1.55-0_helix_1


Thanks,

-Tom
