[ltp] Distributions

[David Grindrod]

As far as I understand the situation jpilot uses pilot-link to the the 
connections. To use USB connections you need a recent version of 
plot-link (> 0.10) and jpilot needs to be compiled with this option. I 
presume if you have a recent distribution this will be the case. I think 
it is possible to use any package that uses pilot-link to do a sync. 
Personally find jpilot very convenient.
