For people who are interested, the reason for the behaviour seen by Andy
(and the reason that the 'hack' to configure a 'USB' device with a
'net:any' device name) is that, when these devices start a network
hotsync they also appear as a USB device if they're connected.  Hence,
gnome-pilot sees a USB palm device and then asks pilot-link to sync on
the 'net:any' device, so the network sync then proceeds.

However, gnome-pilot pure 'netsync' mode doesn't (yet) work properly,
because it isn't listening on the right port to wake up.  It only works
when the wakeup happens via USB....
