Here is the macro I use to upload root images to the ipaq

define ipaq0 -
set line /dev/tts/0, -
set speed 115, -
set modem none, -
set flow none, -
set carrier off, -
set protocol ymodem {} {} {sb %s} {} {rb} {}

Remember to run the following line or add to the above macro.
set file type b

Of course change "set line" to the correct value for you.

To upload root image type "load root" on the ipaq and then switch back
to kermit and type "send root_image_name". This macro will also work
to load the bootldr, but of course be very carefull when loading the
bootldr.

Good luck.
