Can you tell what the problem is? If you'll send me
configuration and compilation logs, I can try to fix it. Of course,
you have a Mac, so you're in a better position to fix it than I am.

I suspect that this is a BSD-ism: IIRC /dev/cuXXXX and
/dev/ttyXXXX should have the same major number, and a difference of
128 in the minor number. One is used for outgoing connections (to a
terminal), and the other for incoming connections (from a modem). Or I
could be wrong.

That depends on why it's taking so long. If it's not
complaining, then I'd venture to guess that you have a lot of data and
it's syncing at some unreasonably low speed.
Try running it with "-dcmp:5 -dio:3". The "CMP: Got a message"
and "CMP: Sending type" messages should tell you how fast the Palm is
willing to go, and which speed ColdSync has picked, respectively. You
should also see ColdSync going through a set of standard speeds to see
whether the serial device can handle them.
