I'd forget the GUI's until you can get a connection using the underlying tools. > I'm asumming it isn't as it ain't there and pilot-xfer from command > line says its 12pre4.

Pilot-link have had problems with proprietary developers cribbing code from public CVS so the URL isn't advertised any more. (off-list) > Any further ideas?

I'm unsure about that version number of the lifedrive - Palm OS was at v5 on the preceding devices and it makes me think this is a different OS. True to form, the palmone website claims the OS is Palm OS® 5.4 (Garnet). And it is USB. http://www.palm.com/us/products/mobilemanagers/lifedrive/specs.epl -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
