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recompile the kernel with "device ucom", but that might be a bit out of
date since the GENERIC config contains pretty much everything now.
