[PilotMgr] Sudden synch problems

[Johan Vromans <jvromans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I'm running RedHat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.9) connected to a Palm Vx.
PILOTPORT=/dev/pilot (a symlink to /dev/ttyS1), PILOTRATE=115200. With
this setup communication went flawless for several months while I was
running RedHat 6.1 (kernel 2.2.19), and for several weeks after I
upgraded to RedHat 7.2. My primary synch tool is PilotManager, but
pilot-xfer and friends show similar behaviour.

PilotManager comes with its own version of the Pilot link library.
With this library, connecting is okay. During the synch a sudden
series of 'Weird packet's terminate the communication. When I enforce
PilotManager to use the link library of 0.10.1-cvs
(2002-01-20_06h.21m.06s), every session starts with a series (10 or
so) of 'Wrong packet type on queue (port speed problem?)' messages.
Communication is __painfully__slow__. I estimate at most 9600 baud.
Note that PILOTRATE is still set to 115200. I have changed the value
of PILOTRATE to as low as 9600, but it doesn't help. It doesn't change
the speed of the connection either.
After a while the communication drops.

Any advice is welcome.
