Syncing Treo 90 with JPilot on Ubuntu

[Margot Ross]

I had followed many how-tos that said to put symlinks to /dev/pilot from 
ttyUSB1 but the problem with that is...the links aren't made when you 
hit the sync button (well they were once, but never again). So after 
kaput's response I tried again and checked /dev for ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1. 
I noticed that the symlink for /dev/pilot wasn't there though. So I went 
into Jpilot and changed the sync setting and started again and it 
worked! Thanks very much! Here are complete instructions for Treo 90 
syncing with jpilot:

Getting Handspring Treo 90 to sync with Jpilot:

The treo 90 uses the visor module so this "should" work with other visors.

Download and install Jpilot.

In preferences/settings, set the serial port to /dev/ttyUSB1.
Speed is 57600.

Close JPilot

In console, cd /dev

Hit the sync button on the Treo's cable.

In console do "ls" and make sure ttyUSB0 an ttyUSB1 are there. They ONLY 
show up there when the sync button is pushed then they go away.

Open Jpilot. Hit the sync button on the left. It should sync.

How to install files:

Open Jfile, go to file/install. Browse to the files you want to install 
and double click or hit the add button. This adds them in the "files to 
be installed pane". Once you've got all the files you want selected in 
the pane, hit done and close JPilot.

Hit the sync button on the Visor/Treo and make sure its in /dev, then 
open JPilot and hit the sync button. The install files window pops up 
with the files to be installed in the lower pane, hit done and they 
should sync over to the palm.

Its not elegant or as simple as it should be, but this is how I got my 
Treo 90 to sync finally!

Hope this helps someone else!
