Periodically when I know I have a lot of e-mail to download I can connect the Palm to the PC's internal modem using an MS-DOS program that fits onto a floppy diskette. The program offers really good throughput and is very simple to setup.

....What a neat thing!

My son wrote it.

You can download a Zip'd version here or a self-extracting version here. C++ source code is included. (This was updated March 2^nd, 2001.)

Just one word of advice: read the file "README.TXT" before using the program.

Me? I think this could come in handy when I end up away from home.
