As far as Hotsync Manager is concerned, iSync is simply a conduit that calls
up the application. Hotsync manager is still the boss.

Once the application is called in a sync, any problems are between iSync and
your Palm so it won't mess up any other conduits.

You can't do both. If you install the iSync conduit, you  have to remove the
ones that communicate with Palm Desktop.

You could of course, selectively turn them on and off.
