Oke, but I don't "use" anything. In 7.04 it was as simple as plugging in
the PDA, and the Citrix client did the rest. So I did not have to
specify any paths (ports) manually at all.

So my guess is that now the PDA is not presented to the system the same
way as before, and Citrix does not reconize the device anymore.

So any way to get the behavior back to the way it was in 7.04?

Or am I totally interpeting this the wrong way? Then please enlighten
me!

Thanks!
