HotSync Palm m500 USB YDL 2.3 issue

[Michael Loose]

Although the cradle is listed in  /proc/bus/usb/devices after pressing 
the hotsync-button of my device and pilot-link is configured to use the 
Handspring USB (the usb-serial manual says it will work w. any 
Palm-device), port dev/usb/ttyUSB0 (USB1, USB2, Ub3...), 57600 , iīm 
neither able to  perform a hotsync nor will the pilot-software transmit 
or receive userdata to/from th e palm-device (PalmOS 4.0).

The device is connected over the built-in hub in an Apple Extended Keyboard
(both detected correctly)

Iīm asking this question here because i found about a handful of howto`s 
which describe the opposite way of connecting (invoking the driver from 
the commandline, then starting hotsync) than itīs printed out in the 
manpage (didnīt work with me either) and one undefined hint that there 
was an issue w. PalmOS 4.0  - so i feel err... well...  confused.

Any help  would be greatly appreciated
