OK. I'll try to give you a few things I learned while trying to get my
Clie to sync (this *does* work, after a fashion):
If you're coming from a sync-over-serial situation (or if you haven't
tried this at all) it might be natural to treat /dev/uvisor like a
serial port over which you can do a sync. For some set of PalmOS
devices (which includes my Sony TJ37) this doesn't work. I had to do a
whole bunch of Googling to figure out that *if* you're in this
situation, you need to make the PalmOS device speak PPP over USB to your
FreeBSD box. Then you configure jpilot to sync with "net:any" and the
sync happens over a TCP connection over the PPP link. Grenville
Armitage has a nice writeup of this here:
http://gja.space4me.com/things/Palm_TungstenC_FreeBSD.html
Compounding this problem for me was that the uvisor driver somehow
couldn't find the right attachment point (port?) on the TJ37. This is
the part that green@ and I did a couple of iterations on. (He was
trying to get a Handspring Treo to work.) This was in a thread on
current@ that started on 1 July 2004 with this email:
Message-ID: <20040701154429.GA3543 at tomcat.kitchenlab.org>
The end result was a patch to uvisor that lets me sync. It's not
committed to the tree yet. Not sure what green@'s plans are for this.
I'm happy to keep it as a local mod.

Grenville had a Tungsten-C so this might be applicable to you.
