SUMMARY PDASync 1.0

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Did a little more digging in the archives and found something that solved
my problem.

Using admintool, I was able to go in and disable services on serial port B
(by listing Serial Ports, picking port B, and unchecking the Service Enable
box), and then PDASync worked correctly.

As a follow-up question, anybody know how to do the same thing from the
command line, so I can put this in a script? I messed around with pmadm
and sacadm but what I tried with them didn't work.

Original question:

>Has anybody gotten PDASync 1.0 to run successfully on a system running
>Solaris 7 previous to the 11/99 release?
>
>We're running Solaris 7 8/99 on an Ultra 2. I downloaded the
>PDAsync-1_0-sol7sparc.bin file for "pre1199" releases of Solaris 7 and
>installed it and the appropriate packages. Our Ultra has an external
modem
>connected to port B, so I disconnected the modem and hooked up the adapter
>cable for the Palm pilot. I also used pmadm -r and sacadm -r to remove
the
>service and port monitor that were using port B.
