This is the README.TXT file for Mocha W32 PPP
Mocha W32 PPP can be used to connect your PalmPilot or CE device
to a Windows-95/98 directly through a serial cable or the Hot-Sync
adapter, giving direct access to the network (Internet) on your local PC.
With Mocha W32 PPP you will not need a modem to use TCP/IP applications,
which come in very handy since you don't need to be on the phone all day.

With this configuration your - pilot -
Palm Pilot can access the Internet - -
and run a WWW browser as Avantgo, - -
POP mail, WAP Browser or other ---------
TCP/IP applications.
Highlights:
- Easy to configure
- Can stop/start HotSync, making it possible to use
the same COM port.
- Has been tested on Palm OS 3.0 - 3.3 and CE versiom 2.0
- Can log data traffic to a file in ASCII format.
- Can run as an icon in the tray.
- Supports TCP and UDP data traffic.
- Uses the windows-95/98 PC's IP address and DNS system,
making it easy to install the product.
- Possible to use COM1 - COM8
Limitations:
- Can use a baud rate of 57.600 with a palmPilot.
We have seen some problems
with a baud rate of 115.200, and has selected not to allow
such a speed in the product. The real data speed is also
lower, as the PalmPilot has a very slow packet ACK response time.
- Computers on the Internet cannot see the PalmPilot, as it uses
the same IP address as the PC running Mocha W32 PPP. Therefore an
application as FTP will not work.
