So I did that, and now I don't get any timeouts.  However, I almost 
invariably get the following behavior:

   - The 'gnome-pilotprogress' window pops up.
   - The 'gnome-pilotprogress' window almost immediately goes away.

And when I look at ~/.gnomerc-errors (thanks, Scott), I see the 
following messages:

   gpilotd-Message: setting PILOTRATE=57600

   Weird packet

which makes me suspect no synchronization is taking place.  The number 
of "Wrong packet type on queue" lines, and the number and sequence of 
"Weird packet" messages is different each time I try to sync, and

Also, when I pull up the "Last sync log" from the PilotSync applet's 
menu, it re-displays the incomplete 'gnome-pilotprogress' pop-up with 
the message "PWA-Pilot Synchronizing" at the top, "Database 0 of 1" in 
the box just below it, an empty box below that, and then below that the 
scrollable message pane with the single line

   Collecting synchronization info...

(I can send a JPG of the pop-up if needed -- I just figured the list 
mailer doesn't accept messages with attachments).

Argh!  Is something hosed up?  The most frustrating part is that it's 
worked once ...

P.S.  After 25 more failures while composing this message, sync. just 
worked twice in a row!  (nice green icon, by the way)
