Thanks Richard, it didn't work. dlpsh is already installed so I just
used the -p option [as the -d option was invalid] and was greeted with
this;-
----------------------------------
dlpsh -p /dev/usb/ttyUSB1

   ERROR: No such device (19)

   Press the HotSync button first and relaunch this conduit..

   Unable to bind to port: /dev/usb/ttyUSB1
   Please use --help for more information
------------------------------------

After wasting nearly all day on this, I've had enough. I'm going to
watch Black Adder.

Thanks everybody for your help
Sharon.
