Connecting to a VPN

If you want to use your Treo to access your corporate email account or other files on your corporate server, you may need to set up a virtual private network (VPN) on your Treo. A VPN enables you to log in to your corporate server through the company’s firewall (security layer). You need a VPN client on your smartphone if your smartphone and your company’s server are located on opposite sides of the firewall.
