!!NAME |

14 |
|
| |
|

|
| |
|
16 |
pilot-link - a suite of tools for communicating with Palm Computing, Inc. Palm Devices as well as the Handspring Visor, TRGPro, and other devices which conform to this standard (PalmOS licensed devices). |
| |
|
17 |
!!DESCRIPTION |
| |
|
18 |
|
| |
|

|
| |
|
20 |
The __pilot-link__ suite of tools contains a series of |
| |
|
21 |
conduits for moving information to and from your Palm device |
| |
|
22 |
and your desktop or workstation system. |
| |
|
23 |
!!TARGET DEVICE |
| |
|
24 |
|
| |
|
25 |
|
| |
|
26 |
All of the __pilot-link__ programs will default to |
| |
|
27 |
__/dev/pilot__ as the default serial device used to |
| |
|
28 |
communicate with a Palm. In general, if the environment |
| |
|
29 |
variable __$PILOTPORT__ is set, its value will override |
| |
|
30 |
the default. A serial device specified on the command-line |
| |
|
31 |
will be used regardless of any $PILOTPORT |
| |
|
32 |
setting. |
| |
|
33 |
|
| |
|
34 |
|
| |
|
35 |
The default connection rate is 9600 baud. You are welcome to |
| |
|
36 |
try higher baud rates (19200, 38400, 57600 or higher) by |
| |
|
37 |
setting the __$PILOTRATE__ environment variable, but |
| |
|
38 |
various machines have various limitations. (Be careful about |
| |
|
39 |
values higher than 115200 on Linux boxes if you've been |
| |
|
40 |
using setserial to change the multiplier.) |
| |
|
41 |

Its mandate is: |

|
305 |
|
| |
|
306 |
|
| |
|
307 |
The pilot-unix mailing list is for discussion and |

308 |
idea-sharing for those interested in using your Palm PDA |
| |
|
309 |
with UNIX systems. This includes people who are interested |
| |
|
310 |
in helping to develop tools to allow the Palm to operate |
| |
|
311 |
with UNIX, and possibly to develop an SDK for the Palm for |
| |
|
312 |
Unix. |
