Hi Richard and thanks for the reply!

Richard I am using a Jornada 720 which with dialup networking seems to
support the creating of a direct connection.

http://www.hpcfactor.com/reviews/hardware/hp/jornada720/

Richard the desktop PC lacks both a IR and Bluetooth adaptor so that idea is
moot.

I guess the best way to do this is installing AS. So if I want my Jornada
to talk with PC's on the field I will have to carry around the cable and the
Active Sync CD.


John

Yes, that's exactly correct. PPC devices only have a limited number of ways
to connect and you must use one of them to do so.
