    Thanks for the reply! Anyway, the thing is, USB syncing won't even work
    with pilot-xfer (which is what jpilot uses). My Zire 72 keeps switching
    USB ports. It keeps disconnecting then reconnecting for some strange
    reason. Check my pasted /var/log/messages log below. Are you seeing that
    with your Tungsten T3? Anyway, I am able to sync using infrared. But
    would still love to get USB working, as IRDA is really slow.
