Re: can't sync upgraded iiic to palm os 4.1

[Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper <vR movingparts net>]

I personally believe that you and I are going to be the only ones that
appear on this thread (a little disgruntled because of the lack of
responses that I've seen from this list so far)....  However, I did
discover that with my 4.1 IIIc, I have to kill off and restart gpilotd
before syncing via irda will work.  It seems that straight serial
connections between 4.1 and gnome-pilot work okay, but irda hangs after
the first irda sync (i.e. if I restart gnome-pilot, irda sync works
once, but not again after that).
