Woo Hoo! My treo sync's perfectly!

Thanks for the help

FYI here's what I ended up doing:
(1) sudo modprobe visor
(2) set Kpilot device to /dev/pilot
(3) press the sync button (Note: the auto configure did not find the device, 
but  upon manually entering the device & username all is good).

No crashes, all my data sync'd properly, etc using a treo 680
