x50 serial port

[smartpi]

I use the x30 for accessing industrial controls through an rs-232 convertor plugged into the port on the bottom of the pda. The x50 I own doesn't support this. Did Dell do this on purpose?

I have tried both of the solutions you suggested. When I plug in the CF card, I get a message that there is no port associated with the card in the CF slot. The serial port option is not available on the x50 that I have.
