You can't. (one more time) USB has a client-server arraignment. Almost all devices are one or the other but not both. Two clients cannot talk to one another. Most hand helds have the client chipset inside so they can communicate with your PC/Mac.
Units also with a serial port can do what you want. You will need to use a custom cable to connect a serial cradle to a modem. (you may be able to play around with a series of serial adapters to get the wire configuration needed) Some older Palms have serial modem cables available that will connect the unit directly to a modem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Dudley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: palm-dev-forum To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 9:46 AM Subject: Connecting Palm Zire to a modem... > Hi All, > > I was wondering is it possible to connect a Palm Zire or any other palm > which has a USB cradle to a modem to make it dial and establish a connection > with a remote server?
