I didn't mention it in my last message, but web servers have been written
for Palm (and Psion I think) that allow browsing the "server" (handheld)
connected via a PPP serial link. I actually tried it, and it worked, but
only for reading data from the device. Still, reading data in this way, then
creating a suitable installable data file (.pdb on Palm) might be a viable
alternative.

Another would be to further develop the suite on the handheld (web-based
form submission?), but they tend to be low-resource as well. That WOULD have
the advantage of allowing ANY desktop with basic IP network connectivity to
be used with the device. Hmmm... perl for Palm anybody?
