I didn't recognise it as a known issue when I read your mail last time
round.  Sorry you've been having ongoing problems.

Have you tried connecting to ttyUSB0 / ttyUSB1 with
pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l

Have you made sure that gnome-pilot isn't running when you run pilot-
xfer?

What's the output of "pilot-xfer --version" ?

Is there any chance there are confliction versions of pilot-xfer around?

What behaviour do you get on the palm?  Does it time out, or get an
error quite quickly?

Have you tried the pilot-link debug environment variables flags (I
forget them offhand.. search on pilot-link.org).
