Subject:   Palm Pilot serial connection to PPP

With the new Palm OS 3.3 update I am supposed to be able to create a
serial connection from my Palm Pilot in its cradle to my machine.  I
have set up PPP, but when I go to establish the serial connection on the
Pilot it just sits there.  Since it is supposed to prompt me for the
password when the login prompt comes up, I have deduced it is not a PPP
setup problem.  Therefore it must be a getty settings problem or such.

Soooo....I downloaded a serial program for the Palm Pilot and went into
the term program on my PC.  When I typed a character on my computer it
turns up as jibberish on the Pilot and vice versa.  Anyone have any idea
what I should do to fix this?  Is this really feasible?

Thanks,

Dan Diephouse

P.S.
Getty is set up for the serial port as:
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  dialin  on secure
