8.8 Pocket PC

You can sync with a Pocket PC
using SynCE (http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/). If
SynCE is not available with your distribution, follow the excellent
instructions at the SynCE site for installing and configuring the
software.

After it's installed, you can generally start SynCE
with synce-serial-config
ircommN (where
N is the number of your infrared device,
usually 0) and then use synce-serial-start (run
these as root):

# synce-serial-config ircomm0
   
You can now run synce-serial-start to start a serial connection.
# synce-serial-start

Once synce-serial-start is running, you should run
the dccm utility as the mortal user who wants to
play with the Pocket PC (this utility communicates with the
synce process that you started as root):

bjepson@linux:~> dccm

Now, align your Pocket PC's infrared port with that
of your Linux system, and launch
ActiveSync. Click
Tools Connect via IR, and your Pocket PC should make an
ActiveSync connection, as shown in Figure 8-24. Note
that the progress bar never goes anywhere. It's just
a live link between the two; it's not actually
syncing.

To move data between your Linux system and your
Pocket PC, you can use
commands like pls to list files on the Pocket PC
and pcp (may be Pcp on some
systems) to copy files to and from the Pocket PC. Note that you must
prefix the root of the filesystem with
":" when you use
pcp.

The SynCE site includes a number of other tools, such as
Orange (extract
.cab files from Pocket PC installation packages)
and a plug-in for MultiSync (http://multisync.sourceforge.net/).
