One possibility might be to set up a local website and have the pocketPCs communicate . Using windows I get internet access on my pda when its connected through usb. On the other hand, I'm not sure if you can have multiple computers connected via one irda port.
I don't want to pretend to know what I'm doing but it seems like an interesting idea. I'm not quite sure that I understand what the big picture is though. > Send PythonCE mailing list submissions to > pythonce@python.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of PythonCE digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. using PythonCE to cluster a set of Axim X5 devices to > interact and display images/video as single device...
