No suggestions, but a related question.
I've been following this thread and it doesn't look like it's going to go
near my question (unless I give it a push :-)
Is there any way to start a *network* hotsync programmatically. I don't
care about returning afterwards - I would like to fiddle with the network
settings (make a serial PPP connection at 57600) which I can already do,
then fire off a network sync. Oh yeah, and some 'correct' way to check if
network syncing is supported would be appreciated too...
One other related question: I'm not on the seeding program for OS 3.3
(yes, maybe I should be...) but ISTR seeing mention of enhanced serial
support, which may obselete my little program to make a PPP connection
direct to the serial port at 57600 (as opposed to the default 19200). Is
this correct?
Cheers
