[coldsync-hackers] palm - modem sync

["John Joseph Roets" <jjr@sunflower.com>]

Hi.
I'm really sorry to continue bothering everyone with this, but here goes.

I've tries multiple configurations, and yet I am still not getting any data from
the Palm to the server.
I've tried "#jjr    -       -       /usr/local/bin/coldsync -t serial -md -" to
point to stdin
I've tried "#jjr    -       -       /usr/local/bin/coldsync -t serial -md
/dev/ttyS0" to point directly to ttyS0 (does this make sense?).
I last tried net sync with:
"/usr/local/bin/coldsync -md -t net -s -" from inetd (xinetd)
With this last setting (with mgetty launching nothing), I make a PPP connection
to the server, but no packets come through from the palm (netsync-wakeup or
netsync).
No data has made it through.

What should the Palm settings be, and might this affect my results?  I currently
have them at modem sync:network/LANSync:LANSync.

I've followed through the source with all of my logs, and it appears that a
connection is made, or at least the logging related to bad connections never
occurs (I've run multiple times with ALL facilities logging at level 9).

It appears that the palm is never sending the info needed by ColdSync.

I've requested info from the mgetty people, and am reliably informed that all is
well there, that at a certain point in their log, they cease to run, after
executing ColdSync with the given args.

It seems that ColdSync just times out.

Thanks for all of your help.

PS, I've also written at least half of a Java coldsync conduit framework, that
will likely be made public after all is ironed out.

Thanks.
