[coldsync-hackers] Sync broke under linux 2.4

[SkiingYAC <skiingyac@geocities.com>]

I've tried using both mandrake's rpm of coldsync 2.1.0 and compiling the 
new 2.1.2, but with both I have the same problem.  Coldsync reads my 
.coldsyncrc and opens /dev/palm (which is linked to /dev/ttyS0), I press 
the hotsync button and both coldsync and my palmIIIxe sit there, then 
coldsync gives me "slp_read: bad checksum: expected 0x3a, got 0x03." 
once or not at all, then it sits there doing nothing.  I've tried 
different speeds, specifying /dev/ttyS0 at the command line, etc.  An 
strace shows that it reads data from the serial port, and setting -d 
slp:5 -d cmp:5 gets the output below.  I tried coldsync hoping it would 
work better than pilot-xfer, which worked *fine* under 2.2, but never 
worked under 2.4.  It would do the same thing, sit there and wait after 
telling me to press the hotsync button.  statserial shows "data set 
ready" changing to 1 when i put it on the cradle, and "clear to send" 
changing to one after I've pressed hotsync on the palm/cradle.  Looks 
like the palm tries to connect 3 times.  Sometimes the it doesn't say 
"got a header...slp_read..." but it always gives the bogus character 
messages.  I would greatly appreciate any help.  I've been strugling 
with this since 2.4.1.  I am willing to try whatever to get it working, 
I just don't know where to start with the protocol, etc.  Thank you in 
advance for your help.


$ coldsync -d slp:5 -d cmp:5
Please press the HotSync button.
