The following figure depicts how the connection is made.
Connecting to the Internet
Installing and configuring a modem
The HP Jornada 420 supports CompactFlash Card modems.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions included with the
CompactFlash Card modem to install and configure it for use
with the HP Jornada.
Getting an account with an Internet service provider
To send and receive e-mail, you need to contact an ISP to set up a
PPP account. SLIP accounts are offered by some ISPs instead of
PPP accounts. The HP Jornada supports the use of SLIP as well
as PPP.
Your ISP gives you the configuration information you need to
connect the HP Jornada to e-mail service:
your account user name
your account password
phone number of your ISP’s modem
IP and DNS addresses, if necessary
your e-mail user name or ID (this may be the same as the user
name for your ISP account)
your e-mail password (this may be the same as the password
for your ISP account)
