Here are some key features of "Softick PPP":

  • Get an access to desktop PC resources
  • Surf World Wide Web
  • Receive and send e-mail
  • Read news (NNTP)
  • Receive information from news channels
  • Perform network synchronization (Network HotSync)


    Requirements:
  • Palm OS 5.1 or better
  • USB or Bluetooth/Serial
  • IrDA connection.


    Limitations:
  • You may experience problems with Softick PPP when use it with unsupported
    PDA models. (Some Sony Clies).
  • Palm m500/m505 :
    Trying to perform HotSync operation with established PPP session crashes handheld. This is Palm OS problem, since Softick PPP doesn't install any software to the handheld.
  • Palm Zire and similar
    You cannot connect two Palm Zire handheld at the same time. These models
    share same USB serial number and Windows PnP manager treat them as one
    device. The serial number in a device, if it exists, must be unique for each device that shares the same USB Vendor ID and Product ID. Unfortunately
    PalmOne/Handspring mistakenly program devices with identical serial numbers. When two or more USB devices with identical serial numbers are plugged into the same system, only the first one plugged in functions.
  • Power Management Crash.
    You need to terminate all USB PPP sessions before entering sleep mode on
    desktop computer. PalmUSB driver incorrectly handles power transition and
    can return garbage instead of correct data crashing Softick PPP.
  • Multiple Bluetooth devices
    Only one Palm OS device can be connected to the Softick PPP via Bluetooth
    connection at the time.
  • ICMP Echo (ping)
    Current Softick PPP doesn't implement ICMP Echo/Reply (ping) protocol support. If you need this feature consider using Softick PPP 1.xx
  • PPP Timeout
    n case application performs NetLibClose/NetLibOpen without delay (this can also be simulated in Prefs->Network panel by quickly pressing Connect/Disconnect button) a PPP connection cannot be established for
    some PDA models.
