Your top priority question should be "how am I going to connect?". A palmtop
with a ricochet or 802.11b interface card would yeild the best perfomance.
while the palm7 has wireless capabilities, and all palm-class computers can
connect to a modem, their processor and memory are comperable to the first
macintosh computers. not to mention tiny resolution. I'd go with a palmtop
running linux. For the record, I am a big fan of PalmOS and hardly go
anywhere without my Visor, but I would never want to try to use a windows
desktop from it.
