Hello,
I've used 2 computers: one with POSE, and the other a
laptop running HyperTerminal. Yes, a null modem cable was
what I used: pin 9 straight through, pins 2 and 3 crossed.
I assume this could be done on just one computer, but
I've had weird problems with my PC's COM port 2. Not a
Palm problem.
Something that caused me a great deal of trouble was
the COM setting for POSE. It was an elementary mistake:
I forgot to turn on the COM port setting in the POSE
properties dialog. I've also noticed that this setting will
be automatically changed to 'None' if POSE detects that
the chosen COM port is in use.
