 Same deal with trying to sync my Palm Treo, under WINE or native.  Weird >

If I had a clue about programming, I'd code a scanner program.  Even the 
native ones don't seem to work correctly.

REPLY:

I bought ACLOG before I ventured into Linux (deleted vista and never looked 
back) I dual boot XP and Kubuntu. Because some ham radio apps run only in XP.
I tried running ACLOG under wine. Application works fine but I cannot 
communicate with my Ten Tec 516. However, I managed to have another app, 
FLDIGI work "butiful".

I realize that wine will work better on "older" applications (same goes for 
new hardware device drivers I suppose). Both wine and aclog have been around 
for a spell. I am sure someone figured out how to make the app communicate with 
ham radios. (I can hope) 
I also tried using Pilot to link with palm devices to no avail. Maybe I'm 
doing something wrong.
