[ale] New Sharp Zaurus kicks a$$

[Christopher Bergeron]

That's actually a _great_ feature...  How many palms can do that?  I'm just
soooo stoked about this thing.  Call me a zealot fine, but I love linux!!!
(even on a handheld!)

Thought that I would pass this along to you, since you mentioned about
open ports. Here is an exceprt from a message on the Yahoo Groups
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sharp-linux) site:

Did you know that your Zarurus has an FTP server?

If you have an ftp client that allows the control port to be set and a
network connection to the Z connect on port 4242 and log in as root,
just hit return for the password.

I guess that the Qt palmtop centre uses this for file transfer, it's
actually part of the taskbar application. security fans should note that
this is a wide open door to the Zarurus - be very careful about network
access if you have any data you don't want to loose. You could set a
root password, but that might stop sync working.
