this is why i thought the logical thing to do is have an ircomm<->obex middleman (probably on the palm itself. i seem to recall that you can have loopback connections). i remember a while back back that all empire does is send comport commands to the empeg. so technically, cant you hit Q and it will stop the player and give you shell? or maybe the way to go is to port ptelnet to use the obex protocol.

i'm not worried about getting telnet and the player playing all at once. i want this as my linux-on-the-go box, with sniffing and other capabilities (has anyone treid to port nmap, sshcient, etc. yet?)
