I am confused by the Comms options available on Palm OS. There is Serial comms and Network comms. When I HotSync my device, I get the option of Local (Direct Serial or IR) or Modem. Does Local fall under the umbrella of Serial comms and Modem under that of Network comms? I want to write a comms application on the Palm (Palm V, not Palm VII) as a learning exercise. I ran the NetSample app. that comes with Codewarrior 6 on the emulator. This app. demonstrates functionality such as ftp, but how would the app work if I was using a Palm modem? Would I have my Palm connected to the modem via a serial cable (I suspect that infrared is possible too; I haven't seen a Palm modem to know for sure)? All I want to do is have an app. on my server that listens on a socket for Palm devices dialing in to the server. I really thought the NetSample app. would demonstrate this but as there is no call to either socket( ) or NetLibSocketOpen( ) anywhere in the code I guess it doesn't go that far. I have ordered a couple of books but in the mean time does anyone have some sample code for the type of app. I have described?
