Are you positive the device connected properly and/or the communications
geometry is set correctly. I've been using the Palm with serial hardware
for several years and never had nor heard of such a communications
problem/rumor. Which model Palm are your using? (BTW, you can disable the
transmit by just not connecting the receive line or visa-versa)
