I once did an application for a contractor that utilized a Palm Pilot as a
data entry device for payroll entry. When the foreman was done entering the
data from his timesheets, he plugged the Palm Pilot into his cell phone and
hit the transmit button.

The cell phone became a modem and dialed up the PPP line in the back of the
iSeries. An FTP script on the Palm transferred the data upline, and a
trigger program populated the data into the payroll system. When that was
done, the script then pulled down any updates to the foreman's crew for the
next day.

Yeah, no kidding. I figured they must be out in an area where there's
no access to mobile phone networks, and therefore are stuck hanging on
to the legacy old punch card system?

Why are your users keying time cards at all? The workers should be
clocking in and out on a mobile timeclock and the entries
automatically collected in time cards. The guy in the trailer does a
quick edit on a good gui and submits for payroll.
