I had much the same idea earlier but there is a problem, well two including
the one you ask about. The Cue Cat encodes (encrypts?) its output so instead
of getting the digits from the bar code you get this long string of stuff. I
spent a while analyzing it and got to the point where I had a good idea what
they were doing. But then I decided that it really wasn't the direction I
wanted to go.

Hello palm-dev-forum,
Has anybody idea how could CueCat (available for free at Radio Shack
http://www.radioshack.com/Partners/CAT/HomePage/RSCATGateway.asp) be
connected to Palm serial port? It has PS2 keyboard socket connector...
