I've got a Powerbook 3400c I've used for three years now, it's so dependable I've even passed on a newer laptop.
I also have a Motorola StarTac CDMA cellphone. Since the idea of hooking my cellphone to a laptop for access to my server here in the office was very attractive, I looked around but found that Motorola says that their phones are only compatible with Winblows. So, believe it or not, I bought a used Dell XPi CD just for this purpose. The combo works fine - Morotola makes a cable that attaches to the serial port (DB-9) of the laptop. However, it seemed to me that surely someone has come up with a way to attach a CDMA data-capable phone to a Powerbook. Looking around the web with Google, I find that Motorola now says their phones are compatible with Powerbooks, but they only specify their newer products (V60, etc) and G3/G4 Powerbooks. I'm thinking that this should be easy - just find an adapter that converts the DB-9 cable to DIN-9 to fit the serial port on the back of the Powerbook, and find a CDMA driver. Am I on the right track, it is it a bit more involved than that? Ken Strayhorn Duke University -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
