    I called Siemens this morning and an attendant told me that although
    siemens doesn't provide a software to support a50 (maybe next version of
    SoftDataLink will - "they are working to this") it can exchange data
    (not by now). Perhaps that´s why nothing is said about a50 exchanging
    data to PC. They didn't want to create expectative.
    Ralf tell us it is possible:
    http://ralf-eisenreich.de/linux___si.89.0.html
    Some forums agree (see Club-Siemens Forum:
    http://www.club-siemens.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=23636
    (this one suggest to use the program vissie with a50)
    http://www.club-siemens.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=23072
    (this guy is using a50 with an USB cable)
    http://www.club-siemens.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=23076
    (upgrading form a50 to c45)

    So, it is possible. Just Siemens is avoid to talk before launch a better
    SoftDataLink.
    As the authors´ e-mail is hidden , I can't contact them to know wich
    cable they are using.
    Any more ideas?
