Question 2.
And this is really a question for those using Palm devices.
Where can one buy a reasonably priced serial cable to connect the David Ek box to my Palm Lifedrive?
Is it that simple? Do I need a null modem adapter?

I've thought about using the Bluetooth facility, but the cost and the complexity are too daunting!

I often use bluetooth and a Pocket PC (running astromist) to control my Bartelised Dob. It was not expensive - the serial bluetooth converter cost about $70 from ebay. I decided on bluetooth because the serial cable for my Pocket PC was $55, so there was very little point keeping the cable. It was not difficult to configure - although I have to admit a friend did the hyperterminal settings for me. It is very convenient. I also use it with a laptop and carte du ciel. I can send coordinates from up to 45 metres away if I need to.
Rod.
