Sorry, I forgot to include the files...

Cool.  Thank you for that.

OK.  I've run 4 separate tests.
TEST1:
Palm setup as direct to modem
Server setup to run described shell test
Result: empty file

TEST2:
Palm setup as direct to modem
Server setup to run coldsync with debug options
result: output logged is setup configuration output, with possibly interesting
lines at the bottom, such as: "pconn->speed == 0"?  This file is included below.
It appears that ColdSync is running, but possibly not getting any data still.
Except for the weird output in TEST4.

TEST3:
Palm setup as modem network - unix with username/password
Server setup to run coldsync with debug options
result: output is identical to TEST2.  See below

TEST4:
Palm setup as modem network - unix with username/password
Server setup to run described shell test
result: output is a "+++" line, followed by 10 "OK" lines with increasing
numbers of blank lines between.

Perhaps one these results, especially the TEST4 result could be cleared up?  Is
the TEST4 result output likely from the server modem, after/during timing out?

Thanks again.
