[spied at yandex dot ru]

hi

1. i try sync Tungsten T with coldsync. via usb i have nothing, via
serial i ger error message on palm side:
SerialLinkMgr.c,Line:1267,
Serial Link manager:
SlkProcessRPC not
implemented

part of coldsync output:

i think we can't get snum from palmos5.0 devices ;(

2. via usb with palmos 4.x devices coldsync can get next messages:
Warning: no device on /dev/ttyUSB1. Waiting...
Error: only read 5 bytes of NetSync packet header.   
Error: Can't connect to Palm.

often after it coldsync simple abort running, but sometimes it don't
respond... i use coldsync for non-interactive sync several palms with
linux box (without keyboard and monitor) and this error is very bad
for me - without my help anybody can't sync more. i get this state 2
or 3 times for 2 months of use (2 sync of 10 palm's everyday)... and i
can't reproduct this error ;(((

3. i get error "Error: Lost connection to Palm." on coldsync side and
"The connection between your handled comuter and the desktop was lost.
Some of your data was NOT backed up. Please check your setup and try
again." with serial sync.
i wrote about this problem two letters, but my solution is bad ;(
if i begin sync in first 2 minutes after coldsync run - all ok, but if
coldsync wait palm long time then on end of sync i get this error.
coldsync output with debug on:
===== Finished syncing
Calling io_drain()             
Error: Lost connection to Palm.
Freeing sync_config 0x80ae408  
ColdSync terminating normally



and last. i see coldsync code about protocols (full, net and simple).
i think it's possibly to auto-detect protocol with first three bytes
from palm:
0xbe, 0xef, 0xed - full: normal serial sync
0x90, 0x01, 0x00 - net: net sync and palmos 4.1 usb sync
0x00, 0x00, 0x00 - simple: broken palmos 4.0 usb sync (net???)

ps: sorry, my english is bad ;(
