list@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please can anyone help, I have just started to use Linux Fedora Gnome 2.4 to get away from Mr Gates and I am having problems syncing my Palm 100 with Ximian If I sign on as root it works as soon as I sign on as a user it wont work. I have used chmod 777 /dev/ttyS(0-n) and chmod a+wrx /dev/ttyS(0-n) and these commands seem to work I have read all the howto's and have found no pointers to the problem. Dave Kemplen G1NSV
