Palmtop computers are rapidly becoming the popular platform of choice for running personal productivity applications, but their networking capabilities are still lagging behind user expectations. Due to memory size, cost, and power considerations most palmtop computers support only limited form of point-to-point communication, namely, connection via a PSTN modem or a serial RS-232 cable.
