Network Preferences
You can use third-party software 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 an IR port. 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.
NOTE
The third-party software, mobile phone and optional modem accessory
mentioned above are sold separately.
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.

a dial-in server. You can create, save, and reuse network service profiles. You can
create additional network service profiles from scratch or by duplicating existing

can add and edit settings.
