Try using the old Serial Manager. I used it for a magnetic stripe reader,
which basically just sucked in data (like a one way modem) and parsed it
as it came in. It takes a lot of error handling, but it can be done and
is backwards compatible. However, Palm OS doesn't multithread like Windows,
so you should use a timeslice type management thing if you want the modem
to "appear" to be running in the background.
