I would like the Palm OS and POSE people's opinion on this. Is my analysis
essentially correct? Would it be possible to add a "direct IP" service to
the network choices in the future? I have heard something about an ethernet
cradle, which would imply a direct IP sync capability ... but I don't see
how to configure a Palm device to use it.
