There is also a big overhead and most of mobile internetconnetions are very expensive. Alexander, I have a debian vserver for 3 Euro/month and I would use a ssh2 client on the Palm and use plucker on this server. With crontab I would run plucker for regular offline read pages... Arround 1999 I used Top Gun Wingman with 9600baud via GSM, so Alexanders idea is not so bad, but IMHO should it be a client/server solution that reduce traffic.... OK I know that this is not exactly what Alexander wants, but with a fork like that (some idea for a fork): -plucker could become a proxy -the reader could become a proxycache, so evey page loaded becomes part of the local plucker document -the client could transmit a joblist (also cronjob) for the proxy -the sever could reconiced change pages and create a document of the new ones... -the client could maybe handle two files as one: -- mirror of pages and -- and the update with the new pages But on the road _with_ internetconnections, I wouldn't use plucker without a server - and this you can do already today, without a fork or porting it to run it with PalmOS ;) Just my 2 cents, rob _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list plucker-dev@rubberchicken.org http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
