pilot sync problems.

[Frank Ramsay]

I just got a palm pilot and I can get it to sync with my linux laptop :(

I downloaded pilot-link 0.9.3 and built and installed it.
but when I run pilot-xfer it says it can't bind /dev/pilot (linked to
/dev/ttys0)
I then tried using /dev/ttys1 through /dev/ttys4.

Then I re-booted into windows and double checked, it is on COM1 (ttys0
right?)
and works fine.  So why isn't it working?

I checked a few sites for info (linux.com, linuxcare, etc) but they all 
seemed say was "download pilot-link and use pilot-xfer".  But nothing
about what to do when it doesn't work.
please help!  I hate the idea of having to reboot just to sync my palm
