I've looked up the Kpilot manual, and I think I have an okay idea of what's going on with it. I'm trying to get it's detection feature to find my Palm Pilot. CentOS does seem to be able to recognize it, because if I run lsusb when running a hot sync, I get the following: [root at localhost dev]# lsusb Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0830:0060 Palm, Inc. Palm Tungsten T / Zire 71 That's encouraging. My Palm Pilot is actually a Tungsten E, not a T, but I'm not sure that's a level of detail that matters at this point. The Kpilot documentation suggest that I look for the palm pilot at /dev/ttyUSB0. That didn't work, but I noticed in my /dev/ directory that there was also a ttyUSB1. That didn't work either. But then I noticed that both were only apparent when I was hot syncing my Palm, so they must be connected to it. Any ideas, then, as to why Kpilot is not acknowledging them as a Palm device the way that lsusb does? Dave
