OPTIONS

  pilot-install-netsync options

                        -e, --enable

Enable the LanSync operation (Used for performing a "Network" HotSync (synchronize across the Internet for example) instead of "Local" HotSync).

                        -d, --disable

Disable the LANSync setting on the Palm

                        -a,
                        --address=address

Set the IP address of the remote machine you wish to connect to via "Network" HotSync. This is not the IP address of the Palm device itself. In most cases the Palm will be assigned an IP address automatically by your desktop or server-side configuration.

                        -n,
                        --name hostname

Sets the hostname of the remote machine you wish to connect to via "Network" HotSync. This is not the hostname of the Palm device itself.

                        -i,
                        --ip ip

This option is no longer supported in 0.12 - see -a, --address.

                        --mask netmask

Set the netmask of the remote machine you wish to connect to via "Network" HotSync. This is not the netmask address of the Palm device itself, it should be assigned a netmask value at connection time, based on your desktop or server-side configuration.
