Title: Pc Link Via Usb - How?
Post by: develd on September 16, 2005, 08:40:43 am
Hello,

is it possible to connect the Zaurus as Client to a PC via USB?

I couldn't find any howto for this issue. When connecting the USB cable there are no /var/log/message entries recorded.

No support[0], a low priority item as of the moment.

I was thinking about that myself, then I remembered I can just ssh in anyway, since I have a working usb network card

Hi Mike,

I'm doing ssh via CF LAN card at home too. There is connectivity, sure.

But at work it would be nice to just connect the tiny USB cable to the Desktop PC. There is no (nearly no :)) way to connect to the network there via LAN.

An USB LAN adaptor would be an alternative but it's much more expensive to leave this at the work/customer location instead of a simple cable always connected to the PC. And I have to link it via crossover to the PC, but this could be managed.

  Thanks for this proposal,

  Oliver
