Hi!. I'm trying to link my Zoltrix external modem to my HP Jornada 525 thru the COM port. I'm using a little gender-cross adapter in order to do this. But the Jornada doesn't detect it!. Do you know what should I do?

You most likely need a null modem adapter. I'm not sure but the cable that you use to connect to a PC will be a null modem serial (is for most handhelds!). If so then you will need another to go inbetween to switch over the transmit & receive pins

Haven't tried it, so its just a guess

You need both, a gender changer and a null modem adapter.

What I did was make my own... so it looks like a gender changer, but is also a null modem.

Do a google search for null-modem adapter and make your own. You can even create your own cable from a Pocket PC sync cable thereby making things really neat.
