The only test you are doing to verify if it works or not is if bitpim can find the device? Can you read some test data from the serial port?
Looking at the pinout for the serial port it doesn't look like there is any hardware flow control. So looping back the control lines doesn't make any sense.
Did you get the cables yet from the eBay purchase? Does this cable work
? One end goes to the Treo 300 and the other end is a DB9?
Thanks for the info! I need to figure this out!
