    I've happily used jpilot with my Palm m505 for many years. This week I got
    myself a Treo 680. Upon sync'ing, jpilot told me I needed to do a "restore"
    since the user wasn't on the device.
    
    So I initiated a restore which succeeded and then my treo was lost in an
    infinite reboot cycle.
    
    I was able to get my treo back with a hard reset (battery out, hold hangup
    until it prompts for erasing all data), but of course that puts me back at
    square one.
    
    So what's the proper way to get all my 3.x data to my new 4.x device?
    
    Here's all the relevant info:
    distro: debian sid
    jpilot: 0.99.9.22-1
    pilot-link: 0.12.3-4
    kernel: 2.6.23.12
    
    Thanks.
