Palm Terminal: IBM alphaWorks download
Palm Terminal (PTerm) is a framework for easy creation of custom mobile computing solutions. The basic idea behind the system is to use palmtop devices as a display terminal for applications running at remote desktop computers. A special hub (proxy server), capable of communicating with applications on one hand (e.g. via LAN) and with palmtop terminals on other hand (e.g. via wireless modem), provides the connection between the two. Download Palm Terminal for free from IBM alphaWorks. -Jeff Condon
