Hi, Please tell me what is the connector on the ipaq side? Is it USB or Serial? I just assumed that ipaq had a serial interface connector.....
I'm not sure if Fedora already uses udev.... Anyway do you see a /dev/ttyUSB0 on your system? USB to Serial connectors/converters are avialable from D.I.Y. shops I think Electroworld also sells them I saw one in SM Cebu Branch & PC Quickbuys also sells the said item (linux compatible too). :) --- Andres Montiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Two points I'd like to bring up: > > > > 1.
