Hi,

I want to be able to transfer data wireless from Palm to PC and vice
versa.
I have:
	1. PalmVx handheld
 	2. PalmModem
	3. Nokia 5110 cellphone

As for now, I can successfully establish connection through the
telephone line using my PalmVx and PalmModem, and I can, for example,
sync my Palm content with the PC using Palm's standard HotSync soft on
both sides.

What I want is to avoid using telephone line (at least at Palm side)
and use a cellphone instead.(Or even go further and use a cellphone on
the PC side as well, but let's concentrate on the Palm side).

I'd like to separate may question into following two parts:

 1. (User's point of view).

How do I connect Palm with a cellphone?
Do I need that PalmModem or can I connect the phone directly to the
Palm?
(I know that PalmModem has special connector to be used with a
cellphone, but I have no idea of how it all works).
What kind of cable do I need to connect Palm or, (if I still have to
use PalmModem), to connect this modem
to Nokia 5110? Finally, what kind of software do I need to be able to
transfer data to PC with this setup?

 2. (Developer's point of view).

What is the spec for that damn 'cellphone connector' on PalmModem
(couldn't find this neither in Palm related resources, nor in
cellphones ones)? If I really need to use that PalmModem, is its
purpose to translate AT commands at Palm side to FBUS commands at
phone side or what? As far as I know, different phones use different
communication protocols, so how come
Palm Modem knows how to communicate with all those phones?
What is the pin-to-pin cable description?
Can I connect Palm to Nokia5110 directly ( Palm Tx >>> Nokia FBUS Rx;
Palm Rx >>> Nokia FBUS Tx) to be able to send data (provided Palm has
the right soft in it)?
Assuming I know how to write conduits for Palm, well, let's say I know
how to write soft (on both sides Palm and PC) to communicate through a
serial Palm - PC connection, what do I need for writing my proprietary
soft to transfer data through Palm - (PalmModem?) - Nokia - PC modem
connection?

By the way, do I have to use what is called 'Data Calls', and do I
need special service provider for transferring data?


Any related info will be highly appreciated.

TIA.

Arkady.
