Thanks, Mark, will check thru back issues. If Palm Pro, issue is
probably several years old.

Duh - what is IIRC ???  has a website ???

I am looking downstream a couple of months and don't even have a
Palm at present. Not too interested in jumping into a wireless unit
- factors are $$$ and signing up for another service, plus don't
really care to surf the web with 16 character screen width [ha - I
prefer doing it on my cell phone with 6 character res - NOT!!].

Am thinking of a Palm IIIxe as a nice compromise - 8MB, OS upgradeable,
run for 2 months [whatever] off AAA. Looks like a perfect platform
for what I have in mind - talking to PICs via RS-232. Comments ???????

Will check out the sites you listed.

Also, I would imagine someone has a simple little terminal emulator
available for Palm ???
