The same problem here!

Can you send me an example of the inetd and palms file? I've some
problems with that,
and I start up coldsync manually ... so it is basically one-shot.

I did not get mgetty to work. What I did do is the following. I dial in
to the system with
a PPP connection. Actually I'm using a free ISP service for this! I
configurate the primary
PC on the Palm with hostname AND ip number. I issue a modem sync and
select network in the modem
sync prefs. This works for me,and is actually cheaper for people to
connect, as they use a local dial
in.
