OPTIONS
- -p, --port <port>

$PILOTPORT environment variable. If both are not found or
supplied, install-expenses will fall back to /dev/pilot.

HotSync (synronize across the Internet for example) instead of
"Local" HotSync).
- -n, --name <hostname>
- Sets the hostname of the remote machine you wish to connect to
via "Network" HotSync. This is not the hostname of the Palm
device itself.
- -i, --ip <ip>
- Set the IP address of the remote machine you wish to connect to

- -m, --mask <netmask>
- Set the netmask of the remote machine you wish to connect to
via "Network" HotSync. This is not the netmask address of
the Palm device itself, it should be assigned a netmask value at

and read and display or set the Network Preferences information
specified or display the Network Preferences stored on the Palm
device.
