    Hello Faisal.
    
    When I reset Preferences to /dev/ttyUSB3 and reloaded J-Pilot
    the Pilot still did not synch.
    
     From your reading of my lsmod, should I have set the port to /dev/ttyUSB1?
    
    I'm happy that jpilot.rc seems stable in the sense that the user and 
    user_id are not being wiped out.
