"ptelnet" for the Palm will do a serial connection over the Hotsync cradle. I have it on reasonable authority from a friend that they've booted FreeBSD this way, interacting with the boot loader via the Palm as they go. Not that I'm recommending this for day to day use, or anything, but if all you have is a Palm. . . N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month. Software, free. USENET transmission, hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Thinking before posting, priceless. Somethings in life you can't buy.
