Before you can use your phone as a wireless modem with your data or fax software, there are a few things you need to know about
recent developments in the wireless data technology. Once you understand more about the different types of digital data and fax
services available to you, you can configure your data or fax software for the right type of service.

your PalmOS device.

perform HotSync operations with your PC.
In addition, third-party software is also available that allows you to browse the Web, send and receive faxes, and send or receive
e-mail directly to your Palm. Check your owners manual or the 3com web site for more information on third-party software.
