Re: [iPAQ] Long installation through xmodem

Hi Niklas,

you should use ymodem, because it's the standard for ipaqs.
When you won't, you have to set xmodem as default. Like set xmodem 1 or
sometihng like that, i don't know exactly because I use ymodem.
Try at first with ymodem, it's also faster than xmodem.

Which iPAQ do you use?
