I'm trying to get my old iPAQ3955 mounted so I can transfer files to and from it. Not bothered about syncing anything - just want access to the file system on it. I've googled all kinds of stuff over the last few days (including SynCE which I thought sounded good but I couldn't get to work), but being new to Linux I'm finding it all a bit confusing.
Below is a terminal session I had trying to figure things out. I think it shows the iPAQ connecting on ttyUSB0, but like I said I'm new to this:
