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.

                               -m,
                               --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.

   Conduit Options
                               -p, --port lt;port>

       Use  device  file  <port>  to  communicate  with  the  Palm  handheld.  If   this   is   not   specified,
       pilot-install-netsync  will  look  for  the   $PILOTPORT   environment  variable. If neither are found or
       supplied, pilot-install-netsync will print the usage information.

                               -q,
                               --quiet

       Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message
