Hello,

I have a treo 90 and have been unsuccessful in making it work with
linux. I am actually stuck at the pilot-link level. I have tried various
versions with the same -bad-results. Could you perhaps shed some light
to this? 

[I know this is somewhat off-topic, but gnome-pilot won't get me far
without pilot-link working...]

I am currently using redhat 8, which comes with pilot-link-0.11.3-3.
When I connect my treo and press the hotsync button on the device I get
the following (from dmesg):


hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x82d/0x200) is not claimed by any active
driver.

I also linked /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyUSB[0,1] and tried 
pilot-xfer --backup ~/treo

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Costas
