Hi,

I need some help getting online, to an old PoqetPad wich I want to use
for a project to gather some data. Therefore I have to transmit my
"PenPal"-application to the poqetpad. Everything I tried didn't work.

Thanks

where people might be able to help. What exactly is your problem
though? If all you need to do is to transfer data from a pc to the
poqetpad, the easiest way might be a CF-card and a CF2PCMCIA-Adapter.

I do have a serial connection cable and I am connected to my desktop
computer, I guess my problem is rather native DOS-usage, than the
connection itself.

Which program do you use for the connection? Most programs will
present you with a two-panel view where things marked in the one panel
(one of the two computers) can be copied to the other panel (the other
computer). Or did I get this wrong again?

I am looking for one of these 'most programs with the two panel screen'. As
a matter of fact I even tried norton commander so I some kind of stuck.

Well, there are lots of programs out there. I'm pretty sure one is
even included with the poqetpad (if only I remembered which).
Otherwise, there are two categories of programs:

a) You can install a program by memory card: I use Kermit, but
http://www.simtel.net/pub/msdos/commprog/ might list more options.
b) You need to install via serial link: laplink or interserv/interlink
can do that, if you have access to an old copy. Only: these might
not run well on PCs above 100MHz. There is also a program called
ZIP (not the packer) which might be exactly what you want:

Of course you can also use any of the programs in categorie b) to
install one of the programs from a)...

Hope this helps

according to the Manual of the pp+ there should be a batch file that would
do exactly what i need. But i is not there. I am affraid to lose everything
by formating the memory drive, to end up in a very very very mean
situation. Do you have any ideas what happens at a reset to everything.

I will check on the memory-card section as soon as I can run my other
laptop again. this should happen by the end of this week.

I now klnow why zip, that I also found, does not work, I gues this is a
rtfm-thing again.
