Well, I tried... from the level of your questions I understood you wouldn't
need a step-by-step. Sorry if that was the wrong conlusion.
Regarding the Loox stack, as Thomas specifies above, they use a software
that is not used in any other Pocket PC that I know. Ipaqs use the Widcomm
stack for Pocket PC, and most others use Microsoft's WM2003 internal
drivers.
Anyway, I am happy you've got it to work.
