Re: Palm Simulator and Bluetooth (again)

Quiet around here ;) Anyway, so what you want to do is send data from 
your TX to a serial enabled device? I send data from my TX to a 
Bluetooth enabled modem and Bluetooth enabled PC using srmSend which 
works a treat. Using a Bluetooth serial connection means I don't have to 
plug anything extra into my Palm (and also means one less thing for the 
user to lose!). As it is just standard RS-232 transmission then I would 
imagine that plugging in a serial adapter to your receiving device 
should work, maybe.

As for terminal software for the Palm, see if this page helps 
http://www.palmspot.com/software/Internet/Terminal/  - I don't know if 
they are any good, just did a Google for "Palm terminal" and this was

first on the list...
