syncing with linux/unix

• doc
• PalmOS HOWTO
• Oracle Calendar interoperability
• Sync'ing oracle calendar with palmos via linux - unfortunately, this is an interactive procedure, not something one can cron into jpilot
• OraCal2iCal - Mac OS X, unfortunately. Shareware, unfortunately.
• sync software list:
  • agsync
  • JPilot
  • jpilot-python
  • jpilot-icalendar - very low activity on sourceforge, but looks interesting. Builds easily on FC2. Import RFC2445 (aka iCalendar) into jpilot, from there you can sync jpilot to your palm.
  • malsync
  • multisync
  • kitchensync
  • pilot-manager - (CDE focus?)
  • pilot-mailsync
  • FreeDesktop.org: OpenSync
  • ColdSync
  • gnome-pilot
  • pyrite: pilot-link wrapper for python
  • jSyncManager - in java, includes some interesting-sounding conduits
  • SyncBuilder
  • jim
  • JetSync Tcl, POP, SMTP, among others
  • palm-storage - for accessing expansion cards

Tungsten C stuff

• PalmOne firmware upgrade
• clievideo has an over/under-clocking utility for Tungsten C and some Sony's.
• instructions for disassembling a Tungsten C - voids warranty

VPN

• PalmOne's list of VPN software for PalmOS
• Certicom's Movian VPN looks like the strongest candidate, being IPSEC, and being still in existence. :)
• Setting up ipsec
  • lartc howto
  • ipsec-howto.org
  • I've tucked away an openoffice document in my ~/notes directory about how to set up ipsec on FC2 without using system-config-network. It covers both shared keys and X.509 certs.
• PPTP
  • The Tungsten C comes with a PPTP client. It sure would be nice to be able to use that.
  • poptop, which is a linux PPTP server, appears to be too high maintenance.
  • wmpptpd is also a linux PPTP server, and looks like it might be lower maintenance than poptop. However, it's much less well-known, and has a low version number. Then again, it claims to interoperate with more PPTP implementations than poptop.
  • mpd is for *BSD systems.
  • Securepoint firewall claims to have PPTP support, but it crashed on sabaki many times. It's based on linux.
  • IPCOP (linux based appliance distribution) has some stuff. However, when I actually installed it, it became apparent that it doesn't have a PPTP server, but rather PPTP passthrough.
  • m0n0wall is a FreeBSD-based firewall and VPN appliance minidistribution. It uses php instead of sh, and includes PPTP. The PC version requires working floppy drive.
  • I eventually wound up going with Devil Linux, which includes PPTP server support out of the box - despite the dopey name.
