Network Preferences
You can use the software that is included in the handheld operating system to
connect with Internet service providers (ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers,
using a mobile phone or optional modem accessory. Your mobile phone must be
equipped with either an IR port or a serial cable that connects to your handheld’s
universal connector. You also need an ISP account or corporate remote access
account and a mobile phone carrier account that supports dial-up connections, or
a mobile phone carrier account with high-speed wireless data network services.
To use the e-mail software included with your handheld, you must create a
configuration in Connection Preferences and then create Network Preferences
settings. See
“Connection Preferences” earlier in this chapter for a complete
explanation of how to define Connection configurations that enable your handheld
to communicate with remote devices.
After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences, you can
establish a PPP (Point-to-Point 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
The Network Preferences settings enable to connect to your ISP or dial-in
server with applications that support viewing the transmitted data. Visit the web site
www.palm.com for information on third-party applications that take advantage of
TCP/IP.
