I have familiar kernel 2.4.18-rmk3 with Qt Palmtop 1.4.0 on a 3850. Pretty
easy install.

Links very well with Linux via USB network connection, minicom I had some
issues with and could not get it to work. Hyperterm worked very well, but
didn't try USB networking with windows.

If you have fast connection at home I would set up the USB network, much
faster. My only complaint is with QPE and that you can suspend it so the
battery life is pretty poor.
