I am trying to connect my iPAQ 1940 to my Desktop PC running SuSE 9.1 Professionell for quite some time now. After lots of reading and googling I reached the point where I have a connection after doing the following:

Executing as root:
PC:/home/berg # modprobe usbserial
PC:/home/berg # modprobe ipaq vendor=0x03f0 product=0x1016
PC:/home/berg # synce-serial-config ttyUSB0

You can now run synce-serial-start to start a serial connection.

Executing as user:
berg@PC:~> dccm -d 3 -f -p xxxx
dccm[5237]: Running in foreground
dccm[5237]: Running command: /home/berg/.synce/scripts/dccm.sh start
dccm[5237]: Listening for connections on port 5679

Again as root:
synce-serial-start
This results in the following message on my user shell:
dccm[5438]: accepted connection with file descriptor 5
dccm[5438]: Connection from 192.168.131.201 accepted
dccm[5438]: this is a password challenge

dccm[5438]: Talking to 'Pocket_PC', a PocketPC device of type hp iPAQ h1940
dccm[5438]: password reply = 0x0001 (1)
dccm[5438]: Password was correct!
dccm[5438]: Running command: /home/berg/.synce/scripts/dccm.sh connect

After that # pls lists me the folders on my iPAQ. Trying to copy something from or to my PocketPC with # Pcp results in Pcp: Failed to open destination file

RAKI stays grey and says 'No Device connected'.

How can I connect with RAKI and how can I access the files on my PocketPC?

My Desktop PC has a fixed IP adress. However, it makes no difference if I use # synce-serial-config ttyUSB0 LOCAL-IP:REMOTE-IP instead of # synce-serial-config ttyUSB0

Is there a way of synchronizing addresses and dates with 'Kontact'?

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to know if there is any way to sync ipaq data with Kontact too...

Anyone?

Thanks,
Ger.
