Re: [iPAQ] various questions

wow. the support around here is amazing!

I have to confess that I was being a bit facetious about the windows
machine thing. I am building a new game machine and it's just a happy

I'll check out the PPP thing anyway.

My first accessory (other than an official serial cable if I can find one)
will definitely be the CF sleeve. I'm not sure if they are shipping yet.

Thanks,

Dwayne
