Hi there,

I can confirm that it doesn't work for me neither. The service from the
provider works, because using the same settings on the phone itself to sync
to the syncml-server works (this works via UMTS or WLAN on the phone). But
of course it would be cooler, if I could sync this server together in one
go, when I trigger the sync between my PC (evolution-plugin) and the phone
with opensync.

BTW, i don't understand how using port 80 can be only done by root? While
browsing the web, you open a lot of connections with that port - why is it a
problem with opensync? I understand this port to be the port the
syncml-server (being at the providers premises) - or is it the source-port
of the PC, too? The problem is that the provider is using port 80. When I
set the port to something else, as Ben already described, opensync hangs
completely.

Any hints much appreciated.
