mirv:/home/jerome>pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l


   Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB1

   Please press the HotSync button now...
   Error accepting data on /dev/ttyUSB1

In logs :
Mar 23 16:34:25 mirv kernel: usb 4-1: pilot-xfer timed out on ep0in

The curious thing is that the device is sometimes connected on ttyUSB0 & 
 1, or ttyUSB2 & 3.

If the device uses ttyUSB1 and then I use the commande :
>pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l
and press sync, nothing appends, and the palm disconnects...

Ok, I've done it before doing the tests with pilot-xfer.
