Thanks for your reply. I have a couple of fundamental questions: 1. Does Palm Serial Manager work over USB port?
2. How do I connect to my server app that is running on Palm from my Windows client app over USB? As far as I know there is no generic USB driver and I cannot open USB port with CreateFile and read and write data over USB the same way I can do over serial port.
