NAME

palmsrv - packet link to Palm device on serial connection

SYNOPSIS

palm/palmsrv [ -D ] [ -d device ] [ -s speed ]

DESCRIPTION

Palmsrv serves packet link connections to a Palm device connected on the given device (default: /dev/eia0) at the given speed (default: 57600 baud). Client applications open /chan/palmsrv to obtain a connection. Each write must contain the data portion of a single Packet Assembly-Disassembly Protocol message containing a Desklink protocol request. If the device rejects the request, the write returns a diagnostic; otherwise, a subsequent read will retrieve the reply.

The server can be shut down by writing the text exit to the file /chan/palmsrv:

echo -n exit >/chan/palmsrv
