Indeed, but I'm interested in what traffic passes between HotSync and my 
Palm device. I've already studied the ColdSync version of this traffic.  :)

Yes, I typically run this at level 8.

Agreed, but unfortunately I'm interested in HotSync specifically.

HotSync is asking my Palm emulator code the same thing a number of times 
(about storage info and a DB list) and then finishing (without actually 
doing the sync). I'd like to figure out exactly the requests and responses 
given by the HotSync/Palm combination so that I can modify my emulator code 
and so allow it to finish the sync as expected.

Cheers
