    OK. The thing to check first is what port your Palm is connecting on. The easy
    way to do this is with
    tail -f /var/log/messages
    and then to plug in the Palm and start a Hotsync. The output should show the
    ports that it's connecting to (or an error if there's a problem).

    Next, try
    pilot-xfer -p /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 -l

    This should list the databases on your Palm - if it fails, try
    /dev/usb/ttyUSB0.

    Once this works, put the same information into JPilot and all should go fine.
