[KLUG Members] Re: Sucess with Palm, Ir, Kpilot and SUSE 10.0!! WooHoo

[Nikolas Reist]

If I remember that night correctly, you can do a:

ls -la /dev/ircomm1 

and it should be a link to /dev/ttyS0 because IBM puts the Ir port on Com 1 because you can't send info consecutively across a com port from two sources.  So they figure it's safe because who would want to sync an ir device while they are online with a serial modem.  The /dev/ttyS* doesn't really make a difference it's the symlink you want because it will have the permission sets for all users.  kpilot should use the same conduits but jpilot I believe uses pilot-link.  pilot-link has it's own set of conduits.  No matter what app you use, you will want the device to be the above mentioned.

    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.
