After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences,
you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line
Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line Internet
Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can do this
either by using menu commands from the Network Preferences
screen or by using a third-party application.
Note: TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in
server with applications that allow you to view the
transmitted data. Visit the web site
http://www.palm.com
for
information on third-party applications that take advantage of
TCP/IP.
