Connection preferences
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings
for communications devices, such as modems, that directly connect to
your handheld computer. These settings are for applications that
activate and use these communications devices.
The Connection Preferences screen displays a list of available
configurations; the list varies depending on the kind of handheld
computer you use and the software that has been added to it. The list
can be modified as needed.
For example, a connection for the Palm Modem
®
accessory appears on
the list. Assuming you have the modem hardware itself, you need
only add the specifics of the connection (phone setup and if needed,
network connection) to complete the configuration.
Creating new configurations
You can also define new configurations. Use the Connection
Preferences screen to create a new configuration. There are six
possible kinds of connections.
