Contoling Engines thru a Palm Pilot

Posted by Anonymous on Friday, May 2, 2003 9:23 AM

I just clicked in from another site that listed a new product - locoPalm (www.locopalm.com). Its supposed to control model trains through a Palm Pilot. I can't get to the locoPalm site yet (too busy, /.) but has anyone heard of this? Does it work?
