Hey gang,
Long-time listener, first time caller.
I am attempting to send a few bytes of data from a cradled Palm to a Windows
app via the serial cable.
I presume that I cannot use the Serial Manager since HotSync will own the
COM port on the Windows side.
So, I am left with something simple like a Berkeley-style socket from the
Palm to the Windows app, which sounds simple enough.
The problem I have is the connection from the Palm to Windows app.
Specifically, it seems as though I cannot just open a socket connection
between the two; it seems like I need to implement a PPP server on the
Windows side just so the Palm can make the connection. This seems awfully
severe-- is this really necessary?
The opening/writing/reading/closing of the socket is straightforward enough,
but I need some assistance figuring out how to make the connection in the
first place.
Or is there a simpler way of doing this?
Hopefully, that's clear. Any help would be much appreciated. I hope I'm
missing something obvious...
Thanks,
Scott
