Communication between my computer with SUSE 10.0 RC1 and my Pocket PC FSC Loox 
718 using synce (synce.sourceforge.net) software supplied as RPM with this 
version of SUSE (synce version is 0.9.0-6).  
I've checked HOWTO on http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/howto.php and 
everythink looks OK prior the section 6. Establishling a connection seems to 
be OK: 
 
# synce-serial-start 
Serial connection established. 
Using interface ppp0 
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyUSB0 
local  IP address 192.168.131.102 
remote IP address 192.168.131.201 
Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid 17700), status = 0x0 
 
But running command pstatus as a user: 
 
> pstatus 
pstatus: Unable to initialize RAPI: An unspecified failure has occurred 
 
After that synce-serial-start ended: 
 
LCP terminated by peer 
Connect time 0.9 minutes. 
Sent 0 bytes, received 1951 bytes. 
Script /etc/ppp/ip-down finished (pid 17883), status = 0x0 
Connection terminated. 
Modem hangup 
 
synce-serial-start was unable to start the PPP daemon! 
 
On the same computer with Suse 9.1 (and patched kernel) is communication 
working well. I have tried to patch kernel in SUSE 10.0 RC1 too, but it was 
not necessary.
