you're right it should work -- it has something to do with the Axim serial cable
not behaving like a true serial cable -- there are all kinds of devices that
need a serial connection that does not work with the axim ...(sigh) perhaps the
USB board will work, but I already have a serial board ...somebody with a good
electronic back ground could probably re-wire the cable to make it work ..it's
beyond my level of expertise --there is much more on this if you search "dell
axim serial" on google... the serial cable from dell is not cheap (for a stupid

cable unless somebody told me they got it to owrk
