Well, I think I did it in the past, but would not swear at it. In any case I use to connect from T650 to the PC over BT and it should be pretty similar. I can browse the web over PC, perform direct file access in the LAN (using Resco Explorer), play mp3's stored on the PC etc. Actually my primary

Well, after some thinking I have to bring down that you are right and it can't be done without 3rd party PP driver. Actually I used to connect from the simulator or using BT and that's way I thought at first it should be similar. - Original Message - From: Christopher Stamper

We used to use the serial cradles for network access. I haven't done this since USB ports. We'd enable a PPP bridge service on the PC serial port (standard on NT/XP pro), configure the Palm NetLib to communicate via PPP over the serial port, and place the device in the cradle. The Palm - PC PPP
