Dial-Up Connections

dial-up connection is any connection that enables communications between a
Palm-size PC and a remote computer using telephone lines and a modem. Once the
connection is established, you can send and receive e-mail, or even synchronize data
when connected to your desktop computer.
This chapter explains how to make the required settings for a dial-up connection. It
also contains information about the types of computers you can connect to with a dial-
up connection.

Remote Computers

Your Palm-size PC can establish a dial-up connection with the types of remote
computers described below.

Internet Service Provider

You can set up an account with an Internet service provider (ISP) for sending and
receiving e-mail. Information (telephone number, user name, password, etc.) you need
to set up your Palm-size PC for this type of connection should be provided by your
ISP.
