[GLLUG] visor sync trouble in linux

[steven collins]

So recently I busted out my old handspring visor and the usb cradle to
try and sync it with my box (RH7.2) via pilot-link but I seem to be
having some trouble.

gnome-pilot
gnome-pilot-conduits
pilot-link

are all installed. I have tried to bind it to port /dev/ttyUSB0,
/dev/ttyUSB1, as well as ttyS0 and 1 just for kicks. logs state this
during sync attempt:

Jun 20 11:05:26 sachiel kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2,
assigned device number 34
Jun 20 11:05:26 sachiel kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter
detected
Jun 20 11:05:26 sachiel kernel: visor.c: Handspring Visor: Number of
ports: 2
Jun 20 11:05:26 sachiel kernel: visor.c: Handspring Visor: port 1, is
for Generic use and is bound to ttyUSB0
Jun 20 11:05:26 sachiel kernel: visor.c: Handspring Visor: port 2, is
for HotSync use and is bound to ttyUSB1
Jun 20 11:05:26 sachiel kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter
now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
Jun 20 11:05:26 sachiel kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter
now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for devfs)
Jun 20 11:06:21 sachiel kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 34
Jun 20 11:06:21 sachiel kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter
now disconnected from ttyUSB0
Jun 20 11:06:21 sachiel kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor converter
now disconnected from ttyUSB1


so it seems to be running smoothly in the background but I see no sync
activity what so ever. My box does show anything is happening and my
visor times out trying to connect to the box.
Has anyone here had good luck with getting a Visor or Pilot to sync with
linux?
