Product Description:

This tool "bridges" communications between a Palm handheld connected with a USB cradle and a TCP/IP socket. It can be used, for example, with the GDB debugger (which normally connects to the Palm OS Emulator on TCP/IP port 2000) to debug on a Palm handheld instead of debugging on the Palm OS emulator. It can also be used to connect the Unix-based pilot-link synchronization tools to a Palm handheld on Mac OS X.
The software can also be redistributed with predefined settings. As an example, "AvantGo USB Sync" is a repackaging of USB-TCP Bridge with built-in AvantGo synchronization for Mac OS X.

What's new in this version:

New UI with predefined selections in the pop-up menu, and a separate field for custom TCP port editing
The bridge now supports a 'Connection Type' selection which determines which USB pipes will be used for reading/writing
The bridge can now execute a unix command line upon connection.
Preferences are now remembered accross sessions
New forced settings mechanism for distributing a locked binary with presets (see documentation)
Quit the application when the window closes
French translation by Michel Poulain

Works ... part-time - Version: 1.2, 10/20/2003 11:00PM PST

Deactivating Hotsync before running this program (or at least the Avantgo version, which I have) is a must for me, not an option. Otherwise, the conduit doesn't work. Even when it does initialize, however, at least 75% of the time, it loses the connection or crashes before the sync with Avantgo is complete. So it's incomplete I'd say at this stage. I look at a successful update as a bonus, so I'm not frustrated when it doesn't work, which is most of the time.
