I had the same problem. It is a real nuisance, especially if you work on
projects with short deadlines. I understand that 3Com wants to protect its
products, but frankly I fail to see what the Confidentiality Agreement
really protects, considering that
A) ROMs are already being distributed on warez sites (as someone reported).
B) Since it is (very nearly) impossible to trace the source of a ROM that
has been spread, no one will ever be charged with having broken the
agreement.
C) Anyone who has a Palm device can get the ROMs without having to sign
anything.
