communicate with the cradle/cable. You can change the port
selection.
Your handheld cannot share this port with an internal modem
or other device.

your handheld and Palm Desktop software. Try the As Fast
As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you experience

your handheld to find and use the fastest speed.
