Ochal,
Thanks for your reply. I did a ps -ef and didn't find synce, although
the connection is recognised by the system. I use Fedora Core 5 (should
upgrade to 6).
I did a msynctool --plugins and it didn't show any although multisync
finds as well the evo2 as the file-sync plugin. I can see dccm is
running but I don't knoe how the various routines related to the
USB-connection of a PDA are working together (or not?).
I'll try your suggestion of starting opensync manually and let you know
the result.
