This is interesting. I've so far been unable to get any file to xfer
successfully to the iPAQ from Minicom/sx. I get the standard "Lots of
NAKs" type messages but instead of actually working, it will sooner or
later bomb out with some error on the iPAQ boot loader that I've
forgotten.
Can anyone comment more on "what's the deal with that?" Where does the
"fault" lie? Is it something wrong with minicom? Linux' serial
drivers? sz/sx/sb toolset? I'm embarrassed that the crappy "Hyperterm"
thing under Windows works and my beloved Linux box can't do it...
