-- USB Cradle + RAS = Internet Access via Proxy? (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=8621)

Hi everyone...

Is it possible to use the USB cradle with my VISOR, have RAS services on my PC and use the PC as a "proxy" type of connection to get to the Net ?

Thanks all in advance...

I have not found a way with any operating system other than Linux, and I still couldn't get that to work.

The reason for this being that all the windows software uses serial ports to do TCP/IP connections to the handheld, (COM1-4). Unless they change the software, or come up with a serial port emulator for USB devices, we're out of luck.

It works in linux because linux DOES see the USB port as a highspeed serial.

and by the way... a lot of people ask "why would you want to do that anyway?" well... I don't know about you guys, but I enjoy linux and the palm, etc because I like the challenge of getting things like that to work. true, it's not all that practical, but it's fun to try

I totally agree..

Your so right..

Cheers

Have anybody done RAS between Prism and NT4.0 or W2K over direct serial connect?
