I'm designing an application that will talk via TCP/IP in a client/server style.
I've done absolutely no TCP/IP stuff on Palm at all, so I'm going to sound pretty clueless initially, so bear with me. In the final version, I plan to use bluetooth to initiate a connection to an ISP via a mobile phone. However, since I don't have access to a bluetooth SDIO card yet, I figure it makes sense to make this work initially via infrared. I assume that the initialisation of the PPP(?) connection needs to be done differently for IR versus bluetooth, but that once the connection is established, the rest of the code will be able to do a connect() call without knowing what the underlying PPP is? Ie, whether I initiate the link via IR or bluetooth, I assume that either I get back some kind of descriptor that I can use to initiate the connect() call or that it's hidden from me altogether and simply doing a connect() will automatically use the current underlying interface? Can someone point me at an example piece of code that initiates a PPP session via IR to a mobile phone? Also, a sample piece of code that uses the Palm OS networking APIs to initiate some kind of simple connection would be great, too. Is there a general place I can do searches for this kind of stuff?
