I don't know what (2) is - it's certainly never been tested.

It doesn't fork any more than any other KUniqueApplication - I guess that
means that yes, it forks once to get into the background, and the
foreground daemon exits. There is only one kpilotDaemon process running.

That shouldn't be necessary - if anything, the hotplug manager should link
/dev/pilot to the correct ttyUSB device, and let the already running
kpilotDaemon deal with it. Since the daemon is a unique application, this
second copy should just exit immediately, since there's already one
running.

I don't get it, basically - which protocol are you trying to speak over
the wire? HotSync? Why not start pppd yourself instead of kpilotDaemon, if
you want to do ppp from the Pilot?
