I was thinking that if you ran 'killev' then it would end any processes
that might already be connecting to /dev/pilot (/dev/ttyS0)

Assuming that your visor is indeed plugged into COM1 and that there is a
link from /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyS0 as I had previously indicated, then
starting evolution, Selecting "Pilot Settings" from the Tools menu,
Selecting your pilot, and clicking the "Edit" button - click OK and
click OK. Then push the 'hotsync' button on the cradle should make it
work.

If that doesn't work, then I would have to wonder if the serial port
settings were correct.
