92 HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide

Input ISP information—This includes the information you collected from your ISP, such as the dial-up telephone number and IP, DNS, and WINS address settings. Many ISPs automatically or dynamically assign both IP and DNS addresses. If your ISP does not assign these automatically, you should clear the Server-assigned addresses option and type the addresses.

When you enter the IP address, you can also choose to use SLIP if your ISP uses this protocol. PPP is the default protocol, but SLIP is supported as well.

You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your ISP 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 connect to your ISP. However, some ISPs assign a different name and password for this service.

Service type—Your ISP may use POP3 or IMAP4 for receiving mail. In addition, some ISPs use SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending messages. This is an optional setting; refer to your ISP to find out if this applies to your configuration.

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