Connecting with an infrared modem
You can also use the infrared port on your HP Jornada to connect to the
Internet or a remote computer via an IrDA-compatible infrared modem. When
you create a new dial-up connection, select Generic IrDA modem from the
modem list. Connect the modem to a phone line according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions, and align the infrared port on your HP Jornada with the
infrared port on the modem before dialing the call.
Connecting with a mobile phone
If your mobile phone service supports remote data connection, you can use
the mobile phone to connect your HP Jornada to the Internet or to a remote
computer. Depending on the make and model of your mobile phone, you can
connect your Pocket PC to the mobile phone using either a CompactFlash
card interface or the infrared port.
CompactFlash connectivity kit
You may be able to obtain a Type I CompactFlash connectivity kit from the
manufacturer of your phone, or from a third-party manufacturer. In either case,
the kit must be designed to work with the specific model of your phone, and
the manufacturer must provide a driver for use with the HP Jornada Pocket
PC.
After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of the
card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters when you
create a new connection (see the Creating an ISP or network connection
section in this chapter).
Via infrared
If your mobile phone has a built-in IrDA-compatible infrared port (or if an
optional infrared connectivity kit is available for your phone), you can use the
infrared port on your HP Jornada to connect. When you create a new dial-up
connection, select Generic IrDA modem from the modem list. Align the
infrared port on your HP Jornada with the infrared port on the mobile phone
before dialing the call. For detailed instructions on how to establish a wireless
connection using a mobile phone, check the HP Jornada Web site at

Creating an ISP or network connection
To connect to a network or the Internet, you need an account with an Internet
service provider (ISP), an account on your corporate network, or access
permission to dial in to a specific computer.
