Unfortunately the answer is no. Windows does not support the concept of a PPP connection over USB. It does not expose PPP as a com port. PalmOS does support PPP as a comm port, so you can configure PPP this way, but Windows will not respond. It may well work under linux, Macintosh or OS X (Anyone want to try?).
Windows and PalmOS both support ppp over a serial cable/cradle or IrDA and this works quite well. So If you want to do this you will need to use a serial cradle or IRDA. --- Gavin >Sorry about my ugly explanation.
