The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings used to
connect your handheld to other devices. The screen displays a list of available

You can also create custom configurations, which include the following:

your desktop computer. (If you are using the optional serial
cradle, the cradle attaches by its cable to a serial [COM] port of
your computer.)

your handheld’s universal connector and a modem for dialing in
to a modem that is part of your computer or laptop.
