Hi gang, I'm looking forward to the 15th of January so I can finally say good-bye to Brother Bill on my iPAQ. I got a couple of questions..... Has anyone used the perl-script that syncs the ipaq and evolution? Other then the notorious, "Don't run this while Evolution is open" are there any other problems? Which CF wireless nics work with linux on the iPAQ. I'm seriously thinking that I'm going to get the cf-plus expansion pack and a wireless nic for my iPAQ (linux's true strength is networking, right?). So which one's work? And, sadly, how easy is it to reverse the process? On the off-chance that I can't stand OPIE as a working environment. I've read the howto, how hard is it in "real life." It might be fun to invite some of the people from the compaq lab to the meeting if anyone who worked on ipaq linux is based in the Worcester area....

Once you have linux installed you can sock-it to bill in style, with xbill on the ipaq.

Has anyone used the perl-script that syncs the ipaq and evolution? Other then the notorious, "Don't run this while Evolution is open" are there any other problems? what were you looking to sync? Mail? Calender? I don't think syncing mail works since the mail readers are not in a working state (at least for the opie enviornment). I believe evolution using the ical standard so syncing shouldn't be a problem. If you point me to this perl script, i will give it a try and let you know.
Which CF wireless nics work with linux on the iPAQ. I'm seriously thinking that I'm going to get the cf-plus expansion pack and a wireless nic for my iPAQ (linux's true strength is networking, right?). So which one's work? I've never used the expansion, so i can't say from experience. This should help though. http://handhelds.org/z/wiki/IpaqHardwareCompatibility
And, sadly, how easy is it to reverse the process? On the off-chance that I can't stand OPIE as a working environment. I've read the howto, how hard is it in "real life." There is a restoration proceedure. http://www.handhelds.org/projects/wincerestoration.html

Wes, Almost time ... here's a small check list to keep in mind. -make sure you have all your data backed up. -you will have to install bootblaster before you get to the meeting because you need to install it with activesync, which i don't have. here's the web page http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.6.1/install/install-bootldr.html do the steps up to 'installing the bootldr'. (We'll do that at the meeting). - you may want to bring your laptop with ppp and minicom installed (i think you said you had one). Once we have linux install i can set up ppp for you so you can talk to your ipaq from linux. I think that's it, let me know if you have any questions. --brad
I'm backing up now.... I'll get the bootloader installed and I'm bringing my laptop w/ win4lin so I'll have activesync if we need it... Am I going to have to manually add my contacts back in? I've been toying w/the qtopia demo... hmmmm. Wes On Wed, 2003-01-15 at 15:01, brad wrote:

Am I going to have to manually add my contacts back in? Where do you have you contacts now? outlook?
Brad, Thanks for your help. I've actually got usbnetworking installed and working (I'm ssh'd in to the ipaq), but qtopia desktop won't connect and ipkg update won't see the world (even though I've got forwarding set up...). Aargh!! Wes On Wednesday 15 January 2003 6:03 pm, brad wrote:
