oh :)

sorry.

I use a palm m515.

I could to install programs (.prc), I sincronize with jpilot, and backup
with pilot-xfer. gpilot and coldsync don't works.

I hope you have luck.

By the way, somtimes, if I stop the program, when start the sincronize
jobs, my freebsd reboot without messages. 

again, sorry..... :) you know
