[gentoo-user] Palm Desktop to Kontact?

Hello. A friend of mine runs a small business, all on Windows and Macintosh.

After having an extremely good experience on my Linux machine, I have talked
him into switching some of his computers to Linux.
On his "Business" machine, he checks email, manages documents, browses the
web, and manages a database of people, with Palm desktop. Since these tasks
are fairly easy to be done on Linux, this will be his first machine.
Unfortunately, his Palm Desktop database is so huge, it would take days to
enter the database by hand into Kontact, or another program that does the
same thing.

So, is there a way to get the information from Palm Desktop into Kontact, in
a relatively easy manner? I don't mind doing some work and jumping though
some hoops to get it done, but we definately want to avoid entering
everything by hand.

Thanks,

Hi

AFAIK Palm Desktop can export vcf-Files (vCard), and KAddressbook/Kontact can 
import them.
