Another thing you might like to know is that pilot-xfer works just
fine. However, I would rather run coldsync because of its cool Perl
modules and I would just like to get coldsync working with my Palm.
Here is the output from pilot-xfer:

  # pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 --backup .pilot


     Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB1

     Please press the HotSync button now... Connected
