palm syncing woes in debian

[Neil Watson]

Hello Folks,

The dance I've had to perform with jpilot and my Z22 that involves the
correct order and timing of activating sync on both the Palm and jpilot
is getting frustrating.  It always takes me multiple tries to
successfully sync.

I did some research and found some information that suggest that using
the userspace libusb instead of the visor kernel module would allow a
more reliable sync.  I attempted this but now I cannot sync at all.  For
example, I issue the command
pilot-xfer -l -p usb:
    Listening for incoming connection on usb:... 

I press the sync button on the Palm but nothing happens.

Is there a good howto somewhere that describes how to make syncing more
reliable?
