My understanding is that ipaq will only work with windows.

There is probably some software out there, but I couldn't find it.

Here are some links to explore however....

There is gnome pilot this is started by gpilotd-control-applet from gui this in in fact the setup interface the deamon is then started.

I have not tested it as I dont have an ipaq

Hope It is what you need.

for kde environments (but also for Gnome, if you have kde installed anyway)you can use:

1) kitchensync

2) qtopiadesktop
available also for windows desktop
