Connection Preferences - 3Com Palm V 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.

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 Palm V Modem for use with your
organizer. See
