Serial port card for Axim?

I have bought my Axim to do network administration tasks like monitor wireless networks and configuring routers and switches.

Is there a CF card which has a 9 pin serial port attached?

The port on the bottom of the Axim is a serial port. You just need a serial cable which you can get from Dell...

oh right, so as well as doing sync duties it can also do things like tellnet? Is this the same cable that comes with the Axim package or is it an option?

Well the cable that came with the Axim would be USB right? You can order a serial cable that will work from many sources...

I *used* to see a serial cable on the DELL web site for the Axim, but don't find it anymore. I'm after a simple "travel" lead arangement so I can also do telenet to control some instruments and embeded CPU's on serial....

any links to a serial lead?
