[NTLUG:Discuss] Serial Ports and Palm Pilot

[Randall Gibson]

gpilot on my computer will not initialize the serial port correctly. I have
to run jpilot everytime I re-boot once to set something correctly. I worked
with the gnome-pilot developers for almost  a week trying to figure it out
with no luck.
	So, try killing gpilotd, and run jpilot. Afterwards, if everything
works, decide which you like best.
