Hello, can anyone give me some help with getting a Handspring Visor to hotsync through a USB connection (using jpilot).

I'm using Knoppix 3.3. My other USB devices are working (printer, mouse, and flash memory stick), although if I run 'USB View' nothing is detected (any suggestions about this would also be welcome).

I have created links with both /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 but nothing happens. /dev/pilot seems to be set up for an ordinary serial connection.

Apart from this I'm really happy with Knoppix, after so many unsuccesful attempts to install Debian using my own wit and cunning---clearly inadequate!

Regards, almala
