Hi, I'm using Slackware 11 right now and the directory /etc/dev.d/ doesn't exist and even if created manually it has no meaning. So I had to use a minor modification to Yaron's udev rule:

DRIVER=="ipaq",NAME="tts/USB%n",SYMLINK="ipaq",GROUP="tty",MODE="0660",RUN="/etc/udev/ipaq.sh"

This rule is stored in the file /etc/udev/ipaq.rules and the script /etc/udev/ipaq.sh is almost exactly the same as Yaron's synce.dev. Then I had to issue the command:

/etc/rc.d/rc.udev reload

to use the new rule instead of the default. This maintains the /dev/tts/USB0 device node and creates a link in /dev/ipaq. Then, to use the link for synce communication:

synce-serial-config ipaq

And now everything works just fine.
