    Hello fellow J-Pilot users!
    
    I'm new to this mailing list and new to Linux too. I would be very 
    grateful for any help in trying to make J-Pilot work for me!
    
    My problem is that I am no longer able to sync my Zire 71 to my Acer 
    Travelmate laptop, where I am running Ubuntu 6.10.
    
    I have got myself in a muddle and do not know where to go. I was 
    initially able to sync, but in circumstances which I no longer remember 
    I could no longer sync. In my computer log I read:
    
    "Nov  8 15:35:23 localhost kernel: [17182448.456000] usb 2-1: Handspring 
    Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB3"
    
    I go to System/Preferences/PalmOS and type in ttyUSB3 and do the same in 
    J-Pilot/File/Preferences/Settings. But when I try to sync, I get the 
    following error report:
    
    pi_bind error: /dev/ttyUSB3 No such file or directory
    Check your serial port and settings
    Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_BIND
    
    I have tried using USB0, USB1 and dev/Pilot, but it does not make any 
    difference.
    
    I have made links from dev/Pilot to USB0 and USB1, but that has not 
    helped. Perhaps it was not a good idea to make two links? Could that be 
    confusing the computer and preventing the sync?
    
    I tried using Gpilot as well, but that did not change anything.
    
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, but that has not 
    changed anything.
    
    Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
    
    Eamann
