Mochasoft, has released a new product called Mocha W32 PPP. Mocha W32 PPP can be used to connect your PalmPilot to a Windows-95/98 box directly through a serial cable or the Hot-Sync adapter, giving direct access to the network (Internet) on your local PC.
With Mocha W32 PPP you will not need a modem to use TCP/IP applications on your PalmPilot, which come in very handy since you don't need to be on the phone all day.

review ... An application that should have been incorporated into the palm pilot from the beginning!! Expenseable from Managemark and Landware brings an expense capturing, reporting, and management solution that leaves little to be desired.
