Palm OS 4 + Internet = ?
========================

I connected a  Palm OS device (a  non-OS5 one) to the  Internet. It was
quite simple: I inserted the SIM card and put it online.

But then I realised that some things  will not be as simple as they are
on non-PDA systems. There is the EudoraWeb. IT can access http:// sites
(no https:// because I don't have the necessary SSL support) and it can
access the Gopher with help of  Cameron Kaiser's Gopher proxy. There is
no native Gopher client, unfortunately. I can use FTP (vPalmFtp) but it
is not so easy. I have little idea  how to get files as the old Palm OS
don't use the normal file system  concept. There are commands like "save
file to Memo" so I should test them.

Having  no SSL  also means  no e-mail  today (all  services that  I use
require encryption).  Telnet is possible but  the PVTerm seems to  be a
bit unstable on my device.

My initial  idea was to use  device for mobile writing  (in then Memos)
with possibility to send the texts to the SDF or other server. It still
seems to  be possible  but it  will require  a bit  more effort  than I
initially expected.
