well, in Missing Sync I've choose Window -> Sync Log. And there's NO 
such lines.
May be because I've enabled only Memo conduit? Also I've checked 'Show 
more details in log' in preferences.

Where can I find log file in Finder/Terminal?

well, not sure, It was so long time ago, but as I remember there was 
special russian version.

But I successfully sync'ed with Linux/Solaris using jpilot program, In 
this program
I can specify encoding rules. In russian palms common to use microsoft 
cp1251 encoding
in Unix'es -- koi8-r so obvious that there's need for recoding.

well, I did some tests. In MS 4.0 (v15) all capital cyrillic letters 
was replaced with
some symbols, as well as lower case cyrillic yo and ya.

Btw, I'd like to translate Missing Sync to Russian, how could I do it 
properly?
