Thankx JP,
Where is the cvs? ximian?
So you are saying the basic contact, calendar, task, could be achieved by
implementing 5 routines and responding with a correct format over a serial
connection. Cool, now why would I pick net/dlp or slp/padp/dlp?
dlp sounds like it's simpler.
And if this emulator is built correctly on the iPaq, evolution (and others
through pilot-link) would have to trouble syncing the basic PIM sutff right?
If that's the case, it would solve many people's problems.
Thank you
