Hi Alfred,

Now I see your responses to Nick, I guess my message was a little grumpy -- 
and coming from a private individual a loaner device is very generous. Sorry 
about that.

My sources say it does PPP over the serial port, and writes the data to its 
own file format.

It may make sense to start with playing around with those files on disk from 
a command-line tool that uses DCOP to communicate with the KDE applications. 
For example, KNotes has a DCOP interface specifically geared towards syncing 
with the memo-pad function found on most PDA's.
