Is this with a serial / USB cable or some other nifty thing? KPilot does
something similar - waiting for incoming HotSync connections on a serial
or USB port - and the basic code structure is:

- open the port
- attach a QSocketNotifier
- connect a slot to QSocketNotifier's data-is-available signal
- the slot can read from the port and do the necessary processing.


See kdepim/kpilot/lib/kpilotlink.{h,c*} for concrete code.
