I have been using my Treo 300 wireless modem with a Win Xp Prof laptop. I bought the official Handspring serial cable at Staples for the $29.99 price. Later, I was told that you can find a combo USB/Serial cable (Aftermarket)on ebay. I would recommend going this way since it will allow you to synch and charge via the USB port, reserving the serial port for Wireless Modem to access. With my using just a serial synch cable, I have to exit the hot synch manager prior to using wireless modem.

I am very happy using wireless modem, since now I can connect via my laptop from anywhere, no more need to keep AOL as a back up dial up account when I travel!!!
