connecting a PDA to citrix

[Phrisbee]

Hello,

I do have a question about connecting a palm pda to my citrix network, plain and simple, how can i do that ?

my network is: compaq thin client, metaframe xp, windows 2000, all on ibm servers with 4 cpu's each and 4 ghz memory.
The Thin client are connecting with built in ICA clients and only USB connections.
I do have a USB palm cradle.

Maybe you guys or girls can help me ?

Map the serial connection to the client.

I have looked this up myself. The problems is at this time Citrix doesn't support USB devices. I have hooked up a palm through a PC in the serial port but connections are still unstable. Enter the following Document ID's on this link and you can read the only info and infromation from Citrix.

You need a Serial Cradle. Next you need a USB to serial converter (yes they exist $20 or so). Then use a script to map the serial port on the client to the "new" serial port on the client system. You'll know that the device works when you see a serial port beneath the USB root hub. I don't know of any way to do it natively with USB.
