NAME
palmsrv - packet link to Palm device on serial connection
SYNOPSIS
palm/palmsrv [ -D ] [ -d device ] [ -s speed ]
DESCRIPTION
Palmsrv serves packet link connections to a Palm device con-
nected on the given device (default: /dev/eia0) at the given
speed (default: 57600 baud). Client applications open
/chan/palmsrv to obtain a connection. Each write must con-
tain the data portion of a single Packet Assembly-
Disassembly Protocol message containing a Desklink protocol
request. If the device rejects the request, the write
returns a diagnostic; otherwise, a subsequent read will
retrieve the reply.
The server can be shut down by writing the text exit to the
file /chan/palmsrv:
echo -n exit >/chan/palmsrv
