Re: How to debug a lost connection problem?

[Christian Rudolph - WorkGroup Layered Software <Christian.Rudolph@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

If you are using an older Ultra1 or other older Sun box,
then your problem may be that your port speed is too high.
I have not been able to get my Ultra 1 serial port to 
reliably connect to the Palm 3 any faster than  38,400.
The newer machines, Ultra 60, etc, have better abilities,
and can sych much faster.  Not so with the older design.
The serial port is not set up to handle the higher speeds,
and will drop data.

 :Anyone have any ideas on how to debug the following situation?
 :When I sync or backup my Palm Pilot III PalmOS 3.0.2 using PilotManager 1.107,
 :I first get a warning
 :
 :Rate 115200 too high, dropping to 57600
 :and then get an error on the Pilot saying 
 :The connection between your Palm III and the desktop was lost.
 :Some of your data was NOT backed up.   Please check your setup
 :and try again.
 :
 :It doesn't matter whether I do the sync/backup first or last.  What does
 :happen is that if I do it last, all the rest of the syncs occur fine.
 :
 :Is there anything peculiar about the SyncMemo that would cause this
 :behavior?  There's nothing in the hotsync.log on either side to convey
 :why the connection is considered lost.
