CommLog for PDA version is a freeware. I wish it would solve some problems user has with serial communication of PDA, such as test GPS CF Card or connect line. The shareware Comm Operator PPC has been released for PDA, which can operate the serial port at the full control, include log and auto responding. Serial port filter driver for PDA will be developed in future. Currently, the sds data can be feed in Comm Operator, which runs on desktop.
