okay, after rebuilding kernel i was able to connect with JPilot and see some data. Now I have questions - how can i upload, for example, PDF document or MP3 file?
I believe you can convert your mp3 files to .pdb files using the "par" utility (http://handhelds.freshmeat.net/projects/parpdb/).
Once you convert them to a .pdb, they can be uploaded onto your palm using the "pilot-xfer" command line program (/usr/ports/palm/pilot-link).
Well.... pilot-xfer -p /dev/ucom0 -i bessonnica.pdb
Listening to port: /dev/ucom0
Please press the HotSync button now... Connected
Installing bessonnica.pdb failed. Time elapsed: 0:00:16
Is it possible that permissions on /dev/ucom0 is causing the failure? It could be that you as a non-root user is not being able to write to /dev/ucom0. /dev/ucom0 is created when you press the HotSync button (on 5.x and above).
I've had to add the following lines to /etc/devd.conf to get the permissions right.
attach 100 { device-name "ucom0"; action "chmod 666 /dev/ucom0"; };
Alternatively, you can "chmod 0666 /dev/ucom0" after you press the HotSync button before running pilot-xfer or, you can run pilot-xfer as root.
