Cool.  Does this mean that it should work directly over stdin?
I am running the following as root from mgetty:
"/usr/local/bin/coldsync -vvvvvvvvvv -l /usr/local/etc/test.log -t serial -md -"

The palm connects, and mgetty runs coldsync [as above], and the ColdSync log
file gets:
Log started on Thu Nov 15 15:28:34 2001

And that's it.  It just hangs around for a few minutes, and then coldsync stops,
and mgetty re-spawns.
Do I need to run pppd/AutoPPP or something to get the palm's output and sync
stuff through to ColdSync, or is it an mgetty configuration problem?

Again, I apologize if I should know this, and I am currently joining the mgetty
list(s) to further that route if need be.

It's just so close.

Thanks again.
