I've not tried to sync via net yet, thus no inetd/xinetd, but I can provide a
palms test-bed preliminary sample:
XXXXXXXXXXXX-1|jjr|500|jjr||
XXXXXXXXXXXX-2|jjr|500|jjr||
Pretty simple eh?

We're not changing the user login for each palm, rather, mapping the serial to
different directories, and then launching programs to process the arriving data.

Is it working like that right now?
Is it 'flaky' as the documentation [coldsync(8)] states?
I'm close to getting this to work, and with just a few more days available, I
hope that I will soon.

Thanks.
