Hello all, Over the past few weeks, I have been working on syncing a Palm with Palm Desktop and Hotsync with WINE. I have made some progress in this endeavor. I am successfully able to sync serial based Palms on the first try. It works flawlessly, even with third party conduits. On subsequent tries, I have to reboot my computer before it pick up the device again. I have also developed a patch that allows USB-to-serial converters to work with Hotsync, and potentially other programs. I sent them to someone, and currently I'm waiting to see what his results are. I realize that this is probably an ill-conceived hack, but it does work in my testing with pl2303 devices. The visor driver for USB palms doesn't quite work yet. According to Greg Kroah-Hartman, that particular driver is a special case, and I gather that it may need modification to work with WINE. I'd like to get some feedback on my changes so that it can be useful, and possibly submitted for inclusion in CVS. If anyone's interested, I have a screenshot in the AppDB: http://appdb.winehq.org/screenshots.php?appId=688&versionId=1043.
Thanks a lot, James Liggett

Whoa, what drastic measure!
setserial doesn't help either?

You can do a network sync. Enable it on your Palm and in hotsync.exe and use pi-nredir(pilot-link package) to redirect the usb port to network. That's what I do, and it works nice every time

Thanks Stefan, that worked!! :) It was a little slow, but it got the job done. I'll be sure to put that in my Wiki.
Thanks a lot, James
