Hello all,

Well, I'm taking the plunge and (trying) installing linux on my iPAQ 3600 series PDA, but the directions on handhelds.org mention that I need to use a serial cable/cradle to actually load the distro.

Now, I'm thinking that I should be able to treat the USB port (ttyUSB0?) as a serial port for purposes of terming into it in linux (since my iPAQ doesn't have a serial cable/cradle).

Does this seem whacked or should/could it work? I haven't actually tried it yet, but I did notice a kernel module for serial emulation in USB or something like that...

As always...TIA for the assistance
