sync issues with evo 1.2.1 on RH8.0

["David M. Cvet" <dcvet i2ce com>]

I feel better that I am not the only one with issues with respect to the 
inability to sync a palm with evo on linux (specifically RH 8.0).  Also, 
I can see that others sharing this difficulty have resorted to JPilot as 
a "backup" solution which I have done as well.

However, I'd really like to get evo working with my palm and aside from 
numerous references to more lists than one can shake a stick at, I'd 
like to ask if anyone has experience this particular problem and 
resolved it. I'd like to understand the diagnostic steps to determine 
exactly what the problem is and therefore, figure what the resolution 
would be.  Here are the particulars:

- platform: RH 8.0, Gnome 2.0
- evo: 1.2.1
- gpilot: gnome-pilot 0.1.71 and pilot-link 0.11.6
- palm OS: 3.5
- device: Treo 270
- sync info: able to sync up with J-Pilot, able to backup Treo to linux 
using command-line interface and pilot-xfer
- with evo, fails to make a connection

Any advice and council would be appreciated.
