Connecting to the Internet
Your ET180 allows you to connect to your mobile ISP, and use the connection to send
and receive email messages and view Web or WAP pages.
For more information on the various wireless data communication programs bundled
with your device, go to "7 Wireless data programs" on page 53.
Connecting to a network
If you have access to a network at work, you can send email messages, view Intranet
pages, synchronise your device, and possibly access the Internet. You can connect to a
network by creating a modem connection via a RAS account.
Before you can create this modem connection, your network administrator will need to
set up a RAS account for you. If this is the method you want to use, see "To create a
modem connection to a network" later on this page. Your network administrator may also
give you VPN settings.
