Connection Preferences - Palm IIIc Handbook

Connection preferences

The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings
used to perform different types of HotSync operations. The screen
displays a list of available configurations that are ready to be further
defined; the list varies depending on the kind of software you've
added to your organizer.
For example, a modem connection appears on the list. If you have this
modem, you only need to specify the phone setup (and network
connection — if required) to complete the configuration.
Note: You can purchase a modem for use with your organizer. See
http://www.palm.com.
You can also create custom configurations. There are four possible
kinds of connections.
