connections for 1xRTT, Circuit Switched and SMS data.
2.1 Internet (TCP/IP) Connections via 1xRTT
When using the AirLink CDMA modems, remote access to is done via a PPP (TCP/IP)
connection to the CDMA network. The CDMA carrier actually provides Internet
connectivity, and, therefore, it becomes the ISP for that session. Applications such as
web browsing, email, FTP, etc., should work as they would normally.
NOTE: Connections to Internet are provided by carrier.
Corporate network connections are unique and not provided as part of service.
