supports Palm-OS devices like the PalmPilot and the

<guilabel>Pilot Conduits</guilabel> section of the Control

|
|
applications; the <application>Ximian Evolution</application>
|
|
conduits are labelled <guilabel>EAddress</guilabel>, for the
|
|
contacts in your addressbook, <guilabel>ECalendar</guilabel>,
|
|

task list.
