Re: iPAQ to RS232 devices

>From my experience, almost all Pocket PC have a built in COM port
(COM1) however they may not come with a serial sync cable. In most
cases you can purchase a serial sync cable for almost all Pocekt PC
models. Even if they do not explicitly state that they have a COM
port, they most likely do have one.
One important thing to remember is that the serial sync cable is wired
for connection to a desktop PC and so are most serial devices. This
means that you will also need a null modem adapter and a gender
changer in the line in order to connect the device to a serial sync
cable for a Pocket PC.
