A low-code dashboard makes monitoring intuitive for any admin, while scripting and custom sensors give experts full control.

You shouldn't have to choose between a monitoring tool that's easy to use and one that's powerful enough for a complex environment. PRTG's low-code interface lets any admin build dashboards, set alerts and monitor devices without scripting, while custom sensors and full API access are there when your team needs deeper control. One platform, no compromise. Download a free 30-day trial now.

    UPDATE! I'm pleased to announce that the source code and binaries for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, also known as Jammy, are available on Launchpad as the SynCE-legacy project. The source code and binaries for Debian 12 "bookworm" are available at github dot com slash GustaVito71 and gustavito71 dot github dot ios slash synce-apt-repo respectively; I'm looking to release them on Debusine or Mentors. Coming soon: 24.04 "Noble Numbat", Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon", and Debian 13 "Trixie". # ----- # ----- # ----- # ----- # ----- # Synce works fine with Ubuntu 8, Ubuntu14 and Debian Wheezy. It is not easy to configure and does not have documentation. I only use it to establish communication, I don't use its existing features, they cover the basics. The new design, which makes use of D-Bus instead of HAL, has improved leaving aside the monolithic structure for a function-based one, but the direct call to dccm is missed, which is now via D-Bus. The support is practically non-existent, I have sent an email that has been waiting for weeks for the list administrator to authorize it because it exceeds the number of bytes. And it is that there has been no movement in the lists for years. In Debian 8, 9 and 10 the DEBs of Ubuntu 16 works!!, WinCE device connect (obtains IP), but disconnects after a few seconds. See my solution in unix.stackexchange.com, questions 732977, "lost-ppp-connection-between-debian-pda-handheld-using-synce/742499". In Debian 12 I'm trying to compile the sources.

    Great package 'synce-hal' to connect PDA or Mobile Phone with WindowsCE to Linux. With Squeeze, Wheezy, Ubuntu-12 perfect !!!! With 'systemd' Jessie, Ubuntu-14, the package does not exist, I think there are compatibility issues with 'HAL'. If someone gets recompile, reminded of succes www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/connection-linux-pda-windowsce-4175560071/-------------------
