<8-)> Get a serial cradle and use that? </8-)>

More seiously, I was able to get the handspring to sync through usb, but I 
recall the process as not being pretty. The big memory (which doesn't help 
you I know) was a sensitive dependency on hitting the sync button on the 
cradle _then_ hitting the application sync button on the computer (I use 
jpilot and like it a whole bunch). 

When I get to my notebook, I'll try and remember to look for my notes on 
the process. With luck, I can find and translate them to make sense.
