Sometimes to my chagrin I need the cathexis
of admitting to someone that I'm a web junkie. I like to know that
I can get connected wherever I am. So that's how it started with
my (dare I say it) wireless palm (note no caps!). However until
Omnisky comes
out with their $40/month wireless service for the Pocket PC I'm
stuck with the wired world. As soon as I started my search for a
Pocket PC modem I realized it would have to be Compact Flash compatible
- what with Compaq
iPAQ PC Card Expansion Pack being like hen's teeth. I saw one
one ebay go for $400! As much as the decision to go Compact Flash
burns me, since I have a perfectly good and compatible PC Card modem,
I'm glad I did. Bear in mind that you will need the Compact Flash
sleeve if you own an iPAQ.
I did the Amazon next day delivery
and true to form the goods arrived the next day. I unpacked it and
started with the Pretec Quick Start guide.
The following
screens will walk you through the setup options required. It was easy
and quick!
First you
head over to Start -> Settings and click the Connections tab.
Tap Modem
followed by New Connection.
Enter a connection
name, verify that Pretec 3.3v 56k is the default modem and change the
baud settings to 57.600 kbps.
Next click
Advanced, go with the default Port Settings click on the
TCP/IP tab.
