ttyS0, S2?

[Bob Hemus]

Her I go again, displaying my igernts.  One of my kids gave me a Palm
Pilot a few years ago and I am trying to get my computer to find it.
Using one of either Caldera e-Desktop, RH7, i think, or SuSE 9.0 and I
think I was using JPilot, on this box.  Right now I've got Ubuntu 7.04
that seemed to find everything until now.


Here's what I did to try to locate the Pilot/Cradle.
sudo dmesg | fgrep ttyS
Password:
[    1.129300] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[    1.130140] 00:07: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

Then I tried 
bob at bob-desktop:~$ dmesg | fgrep tty
[    1.129300] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[    1.130140] 00:07: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[   18.595478] cdc_acm 2-1:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
bob at bob-desktop:~$ 
So I figured ttyS0 is going to be busy?

So I assumed ttyS2 would be the logical choice, (M$ comm. prolly not
logical?), and got this.
bob at bob-desktop:~$ sudo dmesg | fgrep /dev/ttyS2
bob at bob-desktop:~$ 
Of what is this indicative?  Also when I try to HotSync here's the error
message.
The connection between your handheld and the desktop could not be
established.  Please check your settings and try again.

I'm doing this 'cause it was easy on the old distros and thought it'd be
a snap with Ubuntu.
Thanks for any help.
