Posted by davidb on August 12, 2005, 12:05 pm Please log in for more thread options I have a T|C and enjoy the wireless connection when an AP is available and a modem slab to use when traveling but I am curious to know if there is a way to directly cable to a 10 BaseT network? I see no advantage to using a Palm for surfing tied to a laptop when the laptop would offer better viewing and speed. Is there a solution out there? -- Best Regards, David C.M.

Try Softic PPP (I am not sure if this is exactly what you want). You need to run it on a PC through which you connect your palm, and configure the connection on the palm. -- Bang Posted by Laurent Bugnion on August 29, 2005, 9:46 am Please log in for more thread options Hi, davidb@nomorespam.net wrote: show/hide quoted text > I have a T|C and enjoy the wireless connection when an AP is available and a modem slab to use when traveling but I am curious to know if there is a way to directly cable to a 10 BaseT network?

Not exactly what you're looking for, but using WiFile Pro, you can connect to your wireless network and copy files. You can even use WiFile Pro to connect to FTP servers. It's a great piece of software. It can also be used to stream MP3 but it's less comfortable.
