The DTR line refers to a serial interface. This will not work with palm
devices that use a USB port.
There is a way to get the same functionality with a USB device, but it
requires a fair amount of technical know-how. I've written about it
many times in the past, but the basic idea is to hook into either udev
or hotplug, depending on your system, and then launch jpilot with the -s
switch, which will initiate a sync on a running jpilot. Unfortunately,
the details depend significantly on the kernel you are using, as well as
the userland tools you have installed.
If there is interest, I can post the various combinations that I know to
work.
