Accessing personal e-mail and the Internet

If you want e-mail and Internet service only (with no access to a company network), you will need:

¥An installed modemÑIf you have the HPÊJornada 820, you have an internal modem so you are ready to go. If you have the HPÊJornada 820e, you can choose from a variety of available PC Card modems. (For more information about compatible PC Card modems, go to the HPÊJornada Accessories page on the Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/handheld.)

¥A PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) accountÑAn Internet service provider (ISP) will provide you with important informa- tion, such as a user name, password, dial-up phone number, server names, and so on.

¥A dial-up connection set up on your HP JornadaÑ This step is made easier with the HP Jornada dialup application.

¥Access to a phone lineÑYou can connect to an analog phone line with your HP Jornada 820. Or, connect to the type of phone line supported by the PC Card modem you install in the HPÊJornada 820e.

If you use the HP Jornada 820, you must use an analog phone line to connect your modem; connecting to a digital phone line can damage your modem.
