I'm using it to sync up with my calendar (whatever calendar tool comes with
Solaris 7 and CDE).  I've also written a homegrown app to sync the todo 
app with a couple of coworkers Visors.  :-)

Yup -- works like a charm.

The only problem I've had is that I've gone through 2 serial cradles (on my
third one now).  Has anyone else had problems with their Visor serial cradle
on a Sun?  Handspring wants to blame the Sun serial port, but I had a modem
plugged into the serial port for the previous 2 years without any problems.
