Mark, I’m reaching the point of desperation concerning this problem… I doubt that I’ll ever be fixed. (It's been here since FC4T2) As you said, the RPMs in –updates-testing doesn’t solve the problem. (my Palm T3 starts syncing and quiets immediately. though at least gpilot stopped cashing... which is something, I guess...) I cannot use your RPMs (Cheers for making them, though) as their versions collide with the –updates and –update-testing versions. (Can you bump the version numbers?) Can someone please incorporate Mr. Adams’ fixes into the main trunk and release them into –update-testing? I’ll be forever in his debt. (And I make a killer Spaghetti Bolognese) Gilboa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark G.
