When you enter the IP address, you can also choose to use SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) if your network uses this protocol. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is the default protocol for this option, but SLIP is supported as well. If you have a SLIP account, select the Use SLIP check box during the IP setup portion of the HP Jornada dialup configuration process.

You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your network administrator if these options are recommended for your account.

E-mail service

If you choose to configure an e-mail service, HP dialup will prompt you to enter the following information:

UserID and password— The user name (UserID) and password you use to access your e-mail account may be the same as the user name and password you use to log on to your network. However, sometimes another name and password are used for this service.

Service types—Your network may use POP3 or IMAP4 protocol for receiving mail. In addition, some networks use SMTP for sending messages. Refer to your network administrator to find out if this applies to your configuration.

Settings—You can choose a variety of E-mail service settings. If your mail server supports MIME formatting (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) encoding (POP3 servers only), you can select an option to allow binary files to be sent as attachments to e-mail messages. You can also set e-mail services to:

•Disconnect after actions are performed.•Check for new mail at specified intervals.•Display a message or sound an alarm when new mail arrives.•Only display messages from a specified number of recent days.

•Download only message headers. (You can review headers and decide whether to download message bodies the next time you connect.)

•Download full copies of all messages. (You can review messages and decide whether to download attachments the next time you connect.)

The default options offer the settings used by many service providers. If you are not sure, or you do not have guidance from your network administrator, try the default settings.
