Selecting a connection
The Connection field on the Network Preferences screen enables you to select the
default method you want to use to connect to your ISP or to a dial-in server. As
with services, your handheld includes a number of preconfigured connection
types that contain default settings. You can choose one of the preconfigured
connection types, edit an existing connection type, or create a new connection type.
See “Setting connection preferences” later in this chapter for information about
creating and configuring connection settings.

To select a connection:

1. In the Preferences screen, tap the Connection pick list.
2. Tap the connection you want to use, or tap Edit Connections to edit an existing
connection or to create a new connection. See “Setting connection preferences”
later in this chapter for more information.
Adding telephone settings
If the connection type you selected requires a phone (for example, if you are using
a PalmModem accessory, sold separately), the Phone field appears. When you
select the Phone field, your handheld opens a dialog box in which you define the
telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or dial-in server. In addition,
you can also define a prefix, disable call waiting, and give special instructions for
using a calling card.

To enter your server phone number:

1. In the Preferences screen, tap the Phone field.
2. In the Phone Setup screen, enter the phone number for your ISP or dial-in
server.
