Hm. Pilot-link 0.11.8 is supposed to hang around magically and wait for the 
device to show up. It might need a command-line flag to enable that, though. 
But it's not important, because ...

Timing is everything. In particular, you need to run pilot-xfer at just the 
right moment after the button is pushed. KPilot "solves" this by checking the 
port regularly (perhaps every second, I'm not sure how often).

KPilot finds the "right moment" automagically. Usually, at least. It works for 
m50x series devices.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! Just try it (in backup mode, say) and 
see what happens.
