[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Panther problem

[Syd]

Thanks Adam,
What's really frustrating is that MS works fine on a fresh clean  
install on my Powerbook. But if I choose to upgrade or archive and  
install, then it doesn't work.
I've got a lot of stuff on my PB like postgres and OpenACS that I don't  
feel like reinstalling, so I'm loathed to blow my existing 10.2.8 away  
just yet. Hence all this stuffing around to try and figure out why MS  
won't work on an upgrade or archive and install.

Since it looks like the PPPd stuff can't hold the connection, it does  
sound like it's got to do with either a USB or Network config  
problem...
