Hey all...

I dug out an old Palm V from the closet yesterday with hopes of sync-ing
with evolution (I was inspired by a previous thread...). Problem is
that it has a serial connector and the new laptop only has USB. Until I
can pick up a Serial to USB adapter I was wondering if anybody knows of
a way to share/use a serial connection on another machine to the
laptop?? Can I hook the cradle up to my wife's desktop with the serial
connection for a short time and access it over the network??

Thanks!

P.S.- both running strictly linux...... :^) Wife got sick of windows
crashing..... muaha ha ha ha uhh.....
