[ltp] pilot-link on TP240 not working

[Ken Firestone]

At the risk of asking a "dumb" question: Is the serial port turned on
in the bios configuration?

I know on my 240 I leave it turned off to cut down on power usage.

   Hi,

   I am trying to get pilot-link and jpilot to work on my Thinkpad 240 but was
   unsuccessful so far.

   My configuration is:
   - RedHat 7.1 with KDE
   - pilot-link 0.9.5
   - PalmPilot V with cradle connected to serial port

   I did "setserial /dev/ttyS1" added a symlink to "/dev/pilot" and test with
   "dlpsh". It starts and asks for pressing the hotsync button which I do, but
   nothing happens after. The Palm simply does not connect.

   What can I do to debug it? Any changes to the serial port?

   Thanks for any help,

   Ralf
