Jpilot was giving me some error about port bind. I
messed with it some more this morning and found that I
had missed the case on the port ttys1 should have been
ttyS1. Guess that's what I get for doing this stuff
first thing in the morning when I'm still half asleep.
In any case the error has now changed. Kpilot works it
sees the port and will do a hot sync. But my heart
lies with Jpilot. And it dosen't work. It pretends to
talk to the port but the PALM is giving a time our
message. I've verified the speeds are the same amoung
all the programs.

So I'm back to the idea that the Jpilot package was
built to not work with serial. No that most of the
newer Palms use usb. I since Jpilot works on RedHat I
would have to reason that the package maintainer for
Jpilot on RedHat has compilied both serial and usb or
maybe just serial.

Thanks

Tried that and I get the following messages
Package libreadline-dev is a virtual package provided
by:
  libreadline4-dev 4.3-8
You should explicitly select one to install.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  build-essential dpatch libpisock++0 libpisock-dev
libpisync0 libreadline4-dev
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 28 not
upgraded.
E: Package libreadline-dev has no installation
candidate
E: Failed to process build dependencies

apt-get source jpilot
brought down some files but jpilot is still looking
for the pilot-link headers.
