The backpaq is a PCMCIA device, and seems to work through the Familiar distro's pcmcia module. > What does familar give you that the built-in software didn't?

If you get a Palm, do make sure you get one with a decent CPU in it. The old C's are a bit sluggish. If I got a wireless iPaq, I'd make sure I had a CF slot too for cheap expandable storage.
