+
+a) Local file
+   Please specify a local file you want to sync with.
+
+b) Pi-Sync (direct Kx/Pi to Kx/Pi sync)
+   We mention here only KO/Pi, but the same is valid for KA/Pi.
+   If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi is
+   installed, you can easily get the remote file via network 
+   with the build in file transfer feature "Pi-Sync":
+   You have first to enable file transfer on the remote device:
+   - Start KO/Pi on the remote device.
+   - Choose Menu Synchronize-Enable Pi-Sync.
+   - Choose a port number, where KO/Pi should listen for 
+     file sending requests. Valid port numbers are numbers
+     between 1 and 65565. Do not specify port numbers, that are
+     used by other applications. A port number between 9000 and 9999
+     is most likely not used by another application.
+     The default port number is 9197 for KO/Pi.
+     If you specify a port number, which is already in use,
+     you will get an error message when closing this dialog.
+   - Choose a password.
+   - Click OK.
+     Now KO/Pi will send the calendar data via the network, 
+     if some other device is sending a "please send calendar"
+     request on the given port using the given password.
+     If you want to be sure, nobody can access your calendar
+     data, simply disable the file transfer feature on the 
+     remote device after the syncing is done by choosing:
+     Menu Synchronize-Disable Pi-Sync.
+    
+   On your local device, create a new profile and choose
+   profile kind "Pi-Sync".
+   Fill in the needed values:
+   - Password for remote access:
+     The password you specified on the remote device.
+   - Remote IP address:
+     The IP address of the remote device.
+   - Remote port number:
+     The port number you specified on the remote device.
+   
+   Now you can syncronize your local device easily with your 
+   remote device. This works well for all platforms KO/Pi is 
+   running on, e.g. syncing a KO/Pi on Zaurus with KO/Pi on Windows
+   is now very easy.  
+
+c) Remote file
+   Syncing with the profile kind "Remote file" is performed in three steps:
+   i) download the remote file to your local machine to a temp file
+   ii) sync with this temp file
+   iii) upload the synced file to the remote device
+
+   The down-/uploading if i) and iii) is done via a command line command.
+   Please specify the download/upload command ( like scp, ftp, ...) and the
+   file name of the temp file in the corresponding fields.  
+
+d) Mobile device (cell phone)
+   We mention here only KO/Pi, but the same is valid for KA/Pi.
+   Note:
+   It is only possible to sync a mobile phone with one particular device
+   running KO/Pi. If you want to be able to write data of more than one device
+   to the mobile phone (e.g. from your Zaurus and from your Windows Laptop)
+   do not sync with the mobile phone at all, but use the 
+   "Export to phone" functionality from the different devices.
+   Using "Export to phone" makes it not possible to get back data from the
+   phone, if it was changed there, of course.
+   If you sync with the phone, do not use "Export to phone" from any device.
+   (And do not sync, as mentioned above, from any other device with that phone). 
+   It would delete the needed information for syncing with that phone!
+
+   We are using Gammu (Version: 0.98.9) ( http://freshmeat.net/projects/gammu/ ) 
+   for accessing the phones. 
+   Note: You cannot use the original Gammu for syncing KDE-Pim/Pi, because 
+   we have modified the original version to make it useable for syncing!
+   Gammu allows access to many phones in many ways (Irda, Bluetooth, serial,...).
+   The recommended phone access using Gammu with KDE-Pim/Pi is Irda (infrared).
+   Bluetooth access is disabled on the Zaurus, but may work on Windows.
+   Please look at the Gammu homepage and documentation about more details 
+   configuring Gammu how to access your phone.
+   If you have problems accessing your phone, start KO/Pi from the konsole
+   and you will get a more detailed output what went wrong.
+   About Gammu from the Gammu homepage:
+       Gammu (formerly known as MyGnokii2) is a cellular 
+       manager for various mobile phones/modems. 
+       It supports the Nokia 2100, 3100, 32xx, 33xx, 
+       3410, 35xx, 51xx, 5210, 5510, 61xx, 62xx,
+       63xx, 6510, 6610, 6800, 71xx, 7210, 7250, 
+       7250i, 82xx, 83xx, 8910, 9110, 9210 
+       and compatible and AT devices (Siemens, Alcatel, 
+       Falcom, WaveCom, IPAQ, Samsung, SE, and others) 
+       over cables/infrared/BlueTooth.
+   
+   Here is an example what to specify to access a Nokia 6310i via infrared:
+   On Linux (Zaurus):
+     I/O device: /dev/ircomm
+     Connection: irda
+     Model: <leave empty>
+   
+   On Windows:
+     I/O device: <ignored - i.e. leave empty>
+     Connection: irda
+     Model: <leave empty>

+   Here is the overview from the Gammu documentation, 
+   how to specify the connection settings  for
+     I/O device: 
+     Connection: 
+     Model:
+ 
+   Note: The documentation uses the term "port", 
+         where we use the term "I/O device".
+   Note: You do not have to create/change the gammurc configuration file.
+         That will do KO/Pi for you.  
+   Note: For a known model, leave "Model:" always empty, 
+         such that Gammu can auto detect the model.
