Palm Zire72 on Ubuntu 7.10

[Lisandro Weissheimer]

Hi Caleb,

I don't like Evolution, but followed your tips. The hotsync is now
working fine.

I'd like to use kpilot or jpilot, the best will be if I can sync my pda
with Thunderbird. This would be perfect, as I use Thnderbird as my
default mail client and sync my google calendars locally on thunderird
using two extensions.

So, with jpilot and kpilot nothing is working. I think it should be
because this software are trying to find the pda on serial, not usb.

If anyone have another workaround...

Thanks all!
