This Is A Good Accessory If You Use Eudora

This little modem runs on two AAA batteries! It's actually somewhat awesome to hear it chirp when making a connection. The software, MultiMail is OK but does not support file attachments to email. A better free Internet software suite is Eudora for the Palm. Eudora also supports Web browsing. You can hotsync your Eudora email for the Palm with the Eudora email for the PC.

The modem is only 3300 baud but that is adequate for email and occasional Web browsing. Over all, a pretty good value.

AOL users should think twice

I bought this to go with my Palm IIIc, after reading about free software like AvantGo that lets you surf the Internet and download newspapers, etc. from any phone line, after connecting with your ISP. However, I couldn't get AvantGo to work with my ISP, which is AOL. I e-mailed AvantGo, and they replied that AvantGo does not work with AOL (which conflicts with what is on their website). Palm support confirmed this, e-mailing me, "Please note that you cannot use any internet surfing application on your Palm handheld with AOL." Then I twice e-mailed Palm to ask which ISP would work instead, and they sent completely useless, stupid replies that had nothing at all to do with my question. Finally I called and spoke to someone who said that any other ISP should work, it's only AOL that doesn't. So now I have to select and register (and pay for, if I don't find a good free one) a second ISP to make full use of my Palm modem. On the other hand, the AOL e-mail software that came with the modem works great. I can type e-mails on the train on the way home, and send them quickly over my phone line when I get home. But if I can't get the Internet surfing working soon, I'll be returning this, as I didn't buy it only for e-mail.
