A very definite maybe. If the cradle supports serial comm, then you're
in good shape. You will probably need a NULL modem and a gender

can add an MMC card serial port. I've never tried to find one, so I
don't know whether they exist. You might try looking at

I just used google to look up
Pocket PC external modem
and got 5930 hits. That would be a _lot_ to wade through, but the
first few look very relevant.

I just used google to look up
em-500 external modem
and got 44 hits. I didn't look closely, but the first few look
relevant.
