Has anyone on this list managed to make devices & software for
Palm-compatible units using the serial link?

It appears that no Handsprings and few Palms support hardware
handshaking on a serial protocol, specifically there are no CTS or
CTR(sp?) pins available.  While on my list of things to do, PIC serial
communications isn't something I have done yet, so in short, is no
hardware handshaking a problem?

My goal here is that I would like to develop software for a PIC and a
Palm such that I can use the Palm as something of a data exchange,
tuning, control, human I/O and possibly as a diagnostic device for the
PIC.  I have looked through the development support on the Palm and
Handspring sites, but there is so much there I would appreciate it if
some pointers were given.
