The two things you need are:

1. A PC Card modem, preferably one that is recommended by HP.

Note

Since most PC Card modems require significant power to operate, it is recommended that a AC adapter is used whenever a modem is used with the palmtop PC.

2.An ISP account

From your ISP you will need to obtain the following information.

Note

Your ISP may not be familiar with the Windows CE operating system however the steps to set up Internet access are quite similar to that of Windows 95. Your ISP may however have written a program for Windows 95 that automatically sets up all the parameters listed below. This will not work on Windows CE so you will need to manually set these up. Make sure that your Internet service provider (ISP) server supports the Point-to-Point Protocol or PPP. The older SLIP protocol is not supported by Windows CE. Online services that use proprietary interfaces e.g. CHAP are not supported by Windows CE. Please contact your service provider to

ask for a Windows CE version of their software.

User name

Password

IP address (if ISP does not allocate one automatically)

DNS server addresses (if ISP does not allocate these automatically)

Local telephone number of ISP modem

ISP authentication method

Although Windows CE supports automatic authentication for most ISPs,

certain ISPs may require you to tick the “Bring up terminal window after

dialing” box. (See step 11 of “To set up a Remote Networking Connecttion”).

If you are going to be using email, you will require

POP server name

SMTP server name. In most cases this will be identical to the POP server name

POP Mailbox user name. This may be identical to the user name mentioned on page 143.
