I am looking for options for downloading data from a battery powered
device. The scenario is roughly as follows: The battery powered device
(Rabbit 3000 based) collects data ( perhaps 64k ) which is periodically
downloaded from system by "walk-around" data collector using a hand-held
device. Physical
connection to system should be uncomplicated meaning not having to open
the system housing or connect to delicate connectors.

a few brief suggestions/technology options would be greatly
appreciated.....

Thanks!
