I have never made it work as it takes a fair amount of hand-wringing to
do the setup. Docs are not clear enough and it takes a full-blown
java/tomcat/jakarta setup to work on the server. Then the clients get
installed on everything.

Until FC4 it has worked enough to be usable. The last time I had a
working Palm gizmo was prior to FC2. I was using my Zaurus for a while
