I'm trying to get Slackware 10.1 (soon to be 10.2) working with my
Sony Clie so I can abandon Windows completely.

In surfing the web, I understand that pilot-link (first) followed by
j-pilot is the way to go.

Has anyone got these working on Slackware? If so, are you using the
usb or serial interface?

I tried Kpilot and it could not find the Sony device.

The Sony Clie works fine under Windows 98SE but I want to get away!

I had a Clie working over USB a few years back using the following driver:

http://usbvisor.sourceforge.net/index.php

Also look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt (search for
'Visor')

I'm not sure how you want to use the Clie but I have a PEG-TH55
running on my system. I don't use the client utilities in the pilot
package as all I want to do is exchange files and archive my backups.

I access my TH55 either via the wireless 802.11 network or I mount it
as a stoarge device (via USB). Either way I create a backup on my
hand-held then copy the backup to my Linux system to archive it.

I was never able to get it to work properly (or conveniently) with the
the pilot packages so I opted for this alternate route.
