start to where is teh question - it looks to me like a dead end! 

That much on free software :D I still cant believe that no one is syncing his f**king phone with linux ... or what kind of phones are using those guys. I was using siemens c or s55 - great phone it was syncing well untill it fall appart after 4 years of use, then the dark ages started for me. I had nokia and business phone sonyerr that I couldn't sync with each other because of incompatibility if the property fields ... and I've got constantly double entries. I gave it up and focused on writing my thesis. 2years ago I was done and last year came to this project, because, now, the smart phones are on the market over two years and .... no one is syncing. I don't want to believe this - really!

I would prefer to focus on one thing at a time. we are busy anyway. Perhaps it's much better to support Michael to fix the syncml and for you it would be probably better to work on the kitchensync, so that configure can work from the gui. I could also help here and there.

If any one is successfully using osynctool for syncing a phone with kde3 or 4, please, give me an example? By phone I mean something that went on the market in the past 2 years

thanks and regards
