Just use any term program with Kermit, I'm using VLT. I understand that
the IBM software to use the HP-48 as a number crunching peripheral is
laughable, and the Mac software does not actually exist. Kermit is all
you really need.

It's quite easy to do this.  Get yourself the right serial cable
and a terminal program with kermit protocol (I recommend DIGA and
ATalk III for their good kermit implemention or see the PD
fund...).  If you can't find a shop selling the right cable
(without the expensive IBM/Mac software), you can easily make your
own cable (see your HP manual for pin description...).

After connecting your HP, set up your 48sx and your terminal to
the right settings.  After stating the send command on your HP a
requester will automaticly(!) show up on Amiga and the software
gets transfered...  Nice...  but...  I have heard of strange
problems with the backup command and the hp 48 revision a ...  so
test the backup command before using it!

PS: I have payed $30 for my hp serial cable...

I have been using my HP-48SX with my Amiga for about three months now without
a hitch.  I have downloaded source code from comp.sys.handhelds to my Amy, and
from Amiga to HP.  Everything has worked perfectly.  Just make sure to get
the plain IBM serial cable, and not the complete MS-DOS package.  You will
be paying extra for an IBM dish and such.  One thing:  You will need a
9-pin to 25-pin serial adapter.

Hmm .. I don't think they are ignoring anyone. I could be mistaken, but
I think the serial port of an IBM is slightly different than that of an
Apple Macintosh. At any rate, the IBM cable works just fine on the ASDG
dual-serial port board on my Amiga. Any terminal emulator with Kermit
will work just fine.

This one is easy.  Pick up the IBM connector kit and find a 
telecommunications package which supports Kermit (I use ATalk III).
Then just follow the directions in the second owners manual.
Works like a charm.

BTW, there are some nice HP48 programs included in the package.  Just
transfer them to your Amiga (using PCCopy or some such utility) and
download them to your HP.
