Sorry about my ugly explanation. Here goes again. Using as physical media the USB (Serial Bus) cable of a Palm M500 connected to a PC, we would like to use a network protocol like PPP or SLIP to send and receive data from the PC or the LAN to which this is connected in order to avoid use of the Hotsync application. The replacing application will use sockets and will connect to a group of servers in the network usong TCP/IP.
Is this possible? The network connetcion in the palm supports PPP or SLIP over the USB cable?
