That told me where to look on how Ubuntu is auto-recognizing it :). Ubuntu doesn't have the odd USB device requirement, but has the rest of that udev rule line. I was able to get a partial backup ( forgot to exclude Blazer, so it crashed at the same place again ). I tried as root today, but my user account should be the same as /dev/ttyUSB1 is cw for group dialout and my account is in the dialout group. I don't have /etc/security/console.perms, but since it's all matching up, I should be fine. I tried removing the visor and usbserial kernel modules to see if that would reset whatever's hanging on the palm connection. No dice :(. I'm not rebooting every time I want to try to sync this puppy. The device manager sees the palm popping in and out as the device tries to hotsync and as it gives up. I see that page helped Alan. ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.CiscoLearning.org/ # Join the League of Professional System Administrators! https://LOPSA.org/ # If it's not a toy you're looking at it wrong. -- der.hans
