my info on windows is minimal at best and for handhelds they are pretty non-existent. So all this just guess work, btw i understood that your handheld runs win CE and you want it to talk to a linux box. I heard that windows does come with an utility for transferring files over the serial cable, its to be found somewhere in control panel i think its called "direct connection". My guess is it probably uses some std protocol like zmodem, so no harm trying it with minicom:zmodem/kermit. OTOH microsoft would probably tweak the protocol a bit so its not workable. You could use a windows kermit client, there must be some free ones around. But ppp over null modem should definitely work. Start a ppp daemon at the linux end specifying the ip and the serial port, connect it with a serial cable to the port on the handheld. I am not to sure how to start ppp on the windows end, by skipping over the dialling process, but it surely can be done. List members should be able top help. Once the nework is up and going the rest should be easy, setup an ftp or ssh client/servers for the transfers -- sreangsu ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
