Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I was trying to connect my Palm 3 to
an external modem. However, I could not dial out.
I have successfully connected the palm to a PC running a terminal emulator,
and a serialecho program on the palm, so I know that serial port i/o from
palm to pc is working.
What I want to know is do I have to change the cable wiring (pin
assignments)
for the serial port cable in order for this to work ?
Later I intend to connect the palm to a smart card reader, so I wanted to
test with a modem first.
The person who has written the scez library for the palm suggested the
following pin assignments for a Palm 2 Smartcard i/f.
Palm side Reader side For readers
9pin, male 9pin, male
2 (RD) <-> 3 (RD) All
3 (TD) <-> 2 (TD) All
5 (SG) <-> 5 (SG) All
6 (DSR) <-> 4 (DTR) All
7 (RTS) <-> 6 (DSR) Dumb Mouse, to PIN 1 (DCD) for UniProg
8 (CTS) <-> 7 (RTS) All
Would this be required for an external modem too ?
Thanks
Shahed.
