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

PPPaccount. 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)
