Re: Weird packets??

[Arthur Black <Arthur.Black@Eng>]

Mark, in my case the "wierd packets" problem was apparently due to a glitch in 
the software for the workstation port.  I took the Unix novice approach to cure 
the problem.  Exit all applications.  Power down my workstation, then power it 
back up.  This corrected the problem.

I had similar symptoms to you; Pilot could talk to my PC, but got the "wierd 
packets" message when I tried to sync to my workstation.
