Re: [PilotMgr] Palm & Sunray

[Arthur Black <Arthur.Black@xxxxxxx>]

Bob, I would agree with your comment that the Palm serial-USB interface is not 
officially supported.  I have tried it, and the officially supported Edgeport 
device.  Unfortunately, I've had problems with both.

Bottom line, it seems to work for some, but not all.  The problem appears to be 
related to how large are the files you are backing up, and how much traffic 
there is on the server.  The SunRay group is checking into the issue.

>From my problem report:
I am using an Edgeport/2 serial-USB interface device and am seeing 
failure the majority of times I attempt a sync.

After having problems with erratic synchronization performance with PilotMgr and 
a Palm serial-USB interface device, I purchased an Edgeport/2 serial-USB 
interface device.  This device is on the Sun qualified list.  

http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/sunray/usb/usb.prods.cat.html

Unfortunately I am still seeing the same kind of failures.  Occasionally the 
sync operation completes cleanly.  In most cases only part of the files are 
successfully backed up and synchronized.
