I have installed the synce-kde package.  I have set up a panel icon to 
start 'raki'.  When started an icon appears on the panel, and has an 
attached menu.  But when I plug the PocketPC into the USB it doesn't 
connect. :(

The PocketPC does try, but fails to connect.


There is a vdccm program in /usr/bin.
Also a number of 'synce-' programs.

dmesg says "usb 1-2: PocketPC PDA converter now attached to ttyUSB0"

Regards Neil.
