Gavin, Matt, and Colleen, Thank you all for the discussion, and I must apologize to be late back to the thread.
Greg Winton's "Palm OS Network Programming" is what I started with several months ago. Also I used TcpIpLib code provided by NSBasic crew as a shareware (thanks to Keith Monahan for the reference). Everything seemed OK as long as I used a desktop as a server in my simple 'single client to single server' TCP/IP link. However the idea was to use another Palm as a server, and the idea failed because it was just impossible to wake up such a server application on incoming packets from a client. This kind of PPP connection itself is a problem also. That is why I turned to Exchange Manager. Why do I avoid connection of both Palms to the Internet? The answer: system reliability is an issue as well as system throughput is. And the system cost would be lower without an ISP. Now I'm trying to implement a kind of fax modem link using the Serial Link Manager. Are there examples of such a link implementation somewhere? I failed to find anything. Of course, I read PalmOS Companion2 and Reference). Any other reference is appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gavin Maxwell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: palm-dev-forum To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 12:27 AM Subject: Re: Exchange Manager and wireless communications > Most cellphones with IR do indeed support OBEX - it all depends on the phone > to be honest... my T39 sure does - I can send it appointments, address book > and to do records from my Palm direct to my phone. > > Alexandre, the code in the Datebook sample that uses ExchangeMgr will work > just as well for phones as other Palm devices.
