   Let me explain more.

   My fiancee has been sync'ing her PDAs to jpilot over a USB cable for
several years now. All this with the 2.4 series kernels; she's currently
running 2.4.33 on her ThinkPad 600E.

   I'm trying to sync on a box running the 2.6.19.2 kernel. I don't know if
that's the only meaningful difference, but it is the first thing I think
might cause the issues. There have been absolutely no issues sync'ing the
former PDAs via the serial port.
