Hi Mike,

I'm fuzzy on this, but I recall that you could use the Palm software to hook
the Palm up to one pc, and sync it to another via TCP/IP. This assumes you
are using Palm's software. There might be a way to do this using open
source software. Check under "network sync" or "IP sync".

Subject: [SLUG] borrowing serial port over LAN

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.....
