Hi Ronald,

I don't know much about it, but perhaps my scraps of information would 
help. I've been investigating OpenSync and OpenOBEX. Both appear to be 
dead ends - obexftp has been removed from the ports tree and I hear the 
latest MultiSync doesn't use OpenSync anyway.

If you can find it, the "obexftp" package is supposed to do the Nokia/PC 
connection thing pretty much automatically.

I found a post on a forum telling a user to add these lines to usbd.conf 
  [under the "Handspring Visor" entry] and then restart usbd:

device "Nokia"
devname "ugen[0-9]*"
attach "chmod 0666 /dev/ugen*"

Didn't help me, but perhaps it'll help you. Another bit of advice was to 
recompile the kernel with "device ucom", but that might be a bit out of 
date since the GENERIC config contains pretty much everything now.
