    Okay, Yast>Hardware>Infrared Device 'start irda' is checked, the
port is /dev/ttyS1 and I limited speed to 9600 baud. A test successfully
discovers a device:

 "IrLMP: Discovery log:

nickname: IrCOMM, hint: 0x8204, saddr: 0xe5e9a29b, daddr: 0x7f7b1ff3"

    There are no workarounds specified in the KPilot configuration menu.
In both KPilot and J-Pilot the port is /dev/ircomm1. J-Pilot works only
as root and KPilot works as both?? No, I lied. When using J-Pilot as
root the sync is initiated from J-Pilot and when using it as a user the
sync is initiated from the hand held?!? No, that's not right either. It
just worked the other way around !@#$%^&* KPilot doesn't seem to have
nearly the features J-Pilot has. I'm missing the expense conduit with
KPilot for one. I'm missing my documents on both platforms?? I'm still
playing around so any input anyone has would be greatly appreciated. It
appears that the 'notes' conduit causes a crash with KPilot. I limited
the speed to 9600 because I picked that up from somewhere. Who knows
where. And onward we go! It appears that it doesn't matter to J-Pilot
whether or not the Palm is password protected. Synchronizing is a lot
quicker with J-Pilot, probably because backup is a separate operation.
