Using "regedit", look in the registry under the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/U.S. Robotics key (the Palm was originally their
product) and you will find all the settings that you are looking for
(they're pretty much self-explanatory). Unfortunately, Palm always puts this
under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER root, which means that it is defined separately
for each user who logs in! Since conduits are also defined within this
registry key, this means that a given conduit must be "reinstalled" for each
user who needs to use the conduit.
I have found this to be a general PITA even on my home system, where I had
to install Palm Desktop twice so that my wife and I could both use it under
our separate logins. I installed it into the same disk directory, but had to
run the install procedure itself twice so that the registry would be
correctly updated.
This is going to cause you problems in what you're trying to do.
