Hi there

Has anyone ever used an ASUS A620 (WinCE PDA) and SynCE (and got it to work)?

When I start synce-serial-start, it says it is waiting for a connection - but ActiveSync on the PDA says that there was an error connecting...

dccm is started as regular user, while synce-serial-start is started as root...

Thanks for any hints
thomas

I have a Toshiba e750, same problem. I was so happy until I saw that error come up...

ive seen this a couple times with my axim. all you need to do is start dccm as a normal user before running synce-serial-start

Running dccm as root works. Su and run synce-serial-start and then i have to go back to normal user to run any commands for the pda.

or rather dccm as normal user... getting late

thats what should happen. some versions of dccm wont even run as root.
