Sorry-- I must have not been clear. I am assuming that the Windows user
will always have the HotSync manager running in the background since it's by
default in their Startup group. It obviously won't always be synching with
the Palm, but it will always have control of the COM port while it's running
and in the system tray.
That will always tie up the COM port, right? Unless there is a sneaky way
to piggyback on top of the HotSync Manager and read a few bytes of data here
and there, but I don't think that's what you're saying.
Thanks anyway for the reply, I do appreciate it,
Scott.
