Kinda negates the usefulness of the thing, I think. After a bit more searching, I see that there's a BlackBerry interface written in Java mentioned on the Microvision web site, but don't know what its capabilities are. I've also found a pay Java program called Readerware (http://www.readerware.com/rwJava2.html) that might be able to run under FreeBSD, but was hoping for something open source. Kurt
