Using a New Dial-Up Connection
A dial-up connection is just what its name implies, you dial a number over a telephone
line and connect to a computer at the other end. Note the following important points
concerning a dial-up connection.
• You must set up an e-mail account with a local service provider in order to send and
receive e-mail over a dial-up connection. See Chapter 5 of this User’s Guide for
more information about how to make dial-up connection settings.
• You need a CompactFlash type modem before you can use a dial-up connection. See
the separate Hardware Manual for more information about the type of
CompactFlash modem you need.
• Your Palm-size PC does not support connection to any Internet service provider
(ISP) that requires use of special software or programs.
• Your Palm-size PC supports dial-up connection with an Internet service provider
(ISP) that uses a POP3 mail server and SMTP mail gateway.
• You can use multiple mail services for your mail. You need to specify a name and
make the correct settings for each service. The software for doing this comes pre-
installed on your Palm-size PC.

1. In Inbox on your Palm-size PC, tap Compose and then Options.
2. On the dialog that appears, tap the Services tab.
3. Tap the Add button to display a service selection dialog.
