Shahed;
Yesterday I built a cable to link my PalmIIIx with an external modem. I
downloaded MultiMail Pro, configured the mail options and succeeded getting
and sending my e-mail from my Palm.
The only difference with what you want to do consists on the fact that the
modem I used has a
25 pin connector instead of a 9 one. Anyway, the pinout of my cable is the
following one :
Palm side : Modem side :
(9 pin male) (25 pin male)
2 (RD) <-> 2 (TD)
3 (TD) <-> 3 (RD)
8 (CTS) <-> 4 (RTS)
7 (RTS) <-> 5 (CTS)
4 (DTR) <-> 6 (DSR)
5 (SG) <-> 7 (SG)
6 (DSR)<-> 20 (DTR)
>From this it is straightforward the pinout for the 9<-> 9 cable.
I hope this helps !

Asunto: Serial Port Comm w/Modem
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.
