I'm not sure what you think is missing. You just described everything you need! What steps are you taking, and what results are you getting? It's been a while since I've tried this, but when I first added the option to route serial over TCP, I was able to run Poser twice, run terminal programs in both, type in one of them, and have the output appear in the other. So I know it used to work! At least the serial part used to work; I haven't tried beaming. There may be issues there, because part of the beaming process appears to involve breaking the connection and re-establishing it. This re-establishment occurs pretty much simultaneously on both "devices", which can cause a collision in the TCP stack, resulting in both "devices" changing from connect mode into listen mode. With both "devices" in listen mode, they'll never re-connect to each other. -- Keith Rollin -- Palm OS Emulator engineer -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
