Re: "Wrong packet type on queue"

[Ron LaBonte - SunU Training <rlabonte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm experiencing the same message.. in my case this is the first
time I've tried to sync up.. new palm III.. system is sparc5 running
2.5.1

Subsequent sync attempts produce the same messages..

Any help would be appreciated..

Ron
